Turki Al-Sheikh, head of the General Authority of Entertainment in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, continued to talk about his expectations in the world of football after the Corona virus pandemic.
Turki Al Sheikh expectations for the world of football
And through his official page on Facebook, the prominent Saudi official said: “Who will pay a player who is paid in millions, renewed by millions, or contracts with millions ?! In light of the global crisis now, that has become a thing of the past.
Then he added, saying: “There are no rewarding sponsorships, no rewarding TV broadcasts, no match tickets and no advertisements! In my opinion, the drop will exceed 50% سأ … I’ll remind you soon. ”
The sports industry was severely affected by the Corona virus pandemic, as a number of international clubs such as Barcelona and Real Madrid had to cut salaries due to the epidemic and the lack of revenue.
Turki Al-Sheikh owns Almeria, which is active in the Spanish second division and previously owned the Egyptian Pyramids Club, but he sold his stake to an Emirati businessman.
Al-Sheikh had issued a post earlier on his Facebook page in which he expected the world of football to differ after the Corona virus pandemic that hit the whole world, and stressed that football will need many years to reach what it achieved until 2019.
However, the Saudi official excluded his club Almería from the economic problems afflicting international clubs due to Coruna.
It is reported that Turki Al-Sheikh has refused to reduce the salaries of Almeria players despite the Corona pandemic.
