The Saudi Roshen League clubs recently attracted more than one international star, such as the Portuguese Cristiano Ronaldo and the Croatian Marcelo Brozovic joining Al-Nassr, and the Al-Ittihad contracted with the French Karim Benzema and Ngolo Kante, and the Portuguese Jota, and the Portuguese Robin Neves and Senegalese Calido Coulibaly went to Al-Hilal, in addition to the transfer of Brazilian striker Roberto Firmino and Senegalese goalkeeper Edouard Mendy for Al-Ahly.
And it has become certain that the presence of the masses for the first round of the Roshen League will be a distinguished and full attendance, especially for the big four, Al-Ahly, Al-Nasr, Al-Hilal and Al-Ittihad.
The international contracts with players that the teams have made and are still working on are the main reason for this attendance, as attending the first match will be a goal for every fan in order to see their players in person.
The Al-Nasrawi stadium last season was distinguished from other stands of the rest of the Saudi Roshan League teams, due to the presence of non-Arab fans who did not attend in the past.
His distinction came after contracting with the Portuguese player Cristiano Ronaldo, as the victory matches became a target for non-Arab fans to see their beloved star, who was watching him on screens when he was playing with Real Madrid in particular.
It seems that the victory succeeded in attracting the interest of these fans.
The fans of the East Asian continent are considered the most attended to the victory matches, especially since their features are clearly visible and distinguish them from the rest of the fans.
It is expected that the Saudi League will enjoy global follow-up after the recent contracts of the big teams, in addition to the names expected to attend during the coming period.
And unlike Al-Ahly fans, who will only see their new players in league matches, Al-Nasr, Al-Hilal and Al-Ittihad fans will be on a date with their teams in the King Salman Cup (Arab Championship), which is played in Taif and Abha.
The tournament will start on the 27th of this month, as the first, third and fourth group matches will be played at Al-Hawiyah Stadium in Taif, while the second group matches will be played at Al-Mahalla Stadium in Abha.
The championship teams were completed with the qualification of the Tunisian team, Sfaxien, by defeating Al-Hilal of Sudan, with two free goals, to complete the group contract.
It is noteworthy that the Roshen League will start on the 11th of next August, and it is expected that the league draw will be held during the coming period.
The most notable signings of the Big Four so far:
Al-Ahly: Senegalese Eduardo Mendy and Brazilian Firmino, and it is expected that the Algerian Riyad Mahrez and Senegalese Sadio Mane deals will be completed.
