The government, within its openness policy, has decided to focus on football. Hundreds of millions of euros, presence of great figures and now seeks notoriety at a competitive level. For weeks the rumor pointed to the search for possible agreements in the frantic race started by the Saudi League in order to be the center of attention of world football.
The rumor from days ago became news yesterday when Italy echoed the possibility that the Saudi League champion could participate in the Champions League, something that months ago would have been considered impossible by all. After what happened last December, with the arrival of Cristiano Ronaldo, everything that surrounds Saudi Arabia and the world of football can be considered possible.
The truth is that the leaders of UEFA and those of Saudi football have spoken on different occasions, but the option for the champion of the Arab country to participate in the Champions League is still on the threshold of the impossible, at least in the next years. In this dialogue, there has also been talk of creating some kind of competition to reward the champion of a football that is proving to be very serious.
In the next few days, the return of Concacaf teams for the Copa Libertadores can be announced. Messi’s presence in the MLS is the main claim, which when compared to that of Cristiano Ronaldo, Benzema or Neymar in the Saudi League may have similar connotations. It would not be the first time that the main South American competition invites teams from other countries, an extreme that UEFA is not considering in the short term.
Yes, it is true that the highest body of European football is looking for all kinds of formulas to make the product more profitable and among them there has been talk of the creation of a super tournament in the United States in the form of a Super Cup, a project that is already underway. For the moment, the Saudi presence seems distant, but it is true that there are talks.
