The Arab League is one of the most active markets in the world, but only the Arab League has reached the level of "riches". Since the end of the season, they have acquired Karim Benzema and N'Golo Kanté (Ittihad); Édouard Mendy and Roberto Firmino (Al-Ali); Kalidou Koulibaly (Hilal), who on August 13th, US time, paid 90 million euros for the first time.

The Arabian soccer team has taken away Neymar and offered him a 2-year 160 million euro (about $175 million) contract. Such frequent moves make people start to think, is Arab soccer going to follow the footsteps of the world? But if we understand the background of this richest Middle Eastern country, in fact, more will be associated with eight words: "whitewash sports, money soccer".
In the past, whenever Middle Eastern money was invested in European teams, we would more or less think of this motive, but the case of Saudi Arabia is different, as its development of sports is not limited to soccer, but also cricket, golf, boxing and motor racing, etc., which are also the targets of its investment. In addition, even though they invested in European soccer, they did not target the top clubs right from the beginning, but started with Newcastle United.

At that time, it was so large. At that time, Arabia preferred to distribute its resources evenly to synchronize the development of all sports in the country, but no amount of "cosmetic work" could change the world's suspicion of its image.
Negative issues such as the persecution of journalists, criminalization of homosexuality, and restrictions on freedom of expression have raised questions in the West about its image, and there is a lot of resentment in the country towards its government. The Arab population, 75% of which is young and under the age of 35, has been exposed to the world's universal values since childhood, and has long been dissatisfied with the feudalism and traditions inherited from their own countries. The outbreak of the Arab Spring in December 2010, and the increasing opposition to the government in recent years, have demonstrated that the people of the country are determined to pursue reforms. The Arab royal family and government have been seeking an opportunity to resolve this crisis until the day of 2022. ......
On November 22, 2022, the first match of Group C of the Qatar World Cup was played between Saudi Arabia and Argentina. The two sides had very different strengths, and after Messi scored a penalty to take the lead in the opening 10 minutes of the first half, the outcome of the match seemed to be beyond doubt, but in the end, Arabia continued to defend the goal, which led to Argentina's offside violation three times in 35 minutes, and then scored in five consecutive minutes in the opening of the second half. In the end, Arabia won its first group stage match 2:1 and gave Argentina, the eventual winner of the Copa Libertadores, its only defeat of the tournament. This victory made the Arab

As the light of the desert, the whole country, from the royal family to the people, rejoiced, and the sound of the celebrations in the streets was deafening, and thousands of Arabs crossed the border of Qada just to celebrate their
the national team
The royal family even ordered a national holiday to celebrate with the people after defeating the impregnable Argentina. The biggest cold is the beginning of the World Cup. The influence and cohesion of soccer is greater than imagined, and it's not that Arabia doesn't have fans, it's just that the local soccer development is slow and not enough to attract spectators to the stadiums.
After the World Cup, the discussion no longer centered on social issues such as illegal immigration, corruption, and freedom of speech, but rather on the excitement of the World Cup, and Qatar was seen by the world through its hosting of the World Cup, which is something that the Arabs would like to emulate, and that is why bidding for the right to host the World Cup in 2030 is their main goal.
