CEO of the Saudi League Omar Mugarbel spoke about comparing the local championship with the Chinese championship.
Have there been any comparisons between the Saudi League and the Chinese Super League? That won’t happen here (smile). The answer is simple. What makes Saudi Arabia unique is its rich football culture. Our championship has always been competitive and unique in the region. Last season it was voted the best league in Asia.
We have a long history, both as a club and as a national team. We must take advantage of this heritage. We have a long-term strategy and have achieved great success so far. It is not only about attracting football players, but also about developing the league itself. We are in a race.
It’s not a one-day thing, but what we believe in.
