Why is Football Flopping In Saudi Arabia?
Saudi Arabia did some absolutely insane business this year. From Cristiano Ronaldo to Neymar Jr. to Karim Benzema to N’Golo Kante to Sadio Mane and a host of other incredibly experienced stars; too many to mention, in fact.
Take Al-Ettifaq, for example. Even with Jordan Henderson, Gigi Wijnaldum, Demarai Gray, and Steven Gerrard as coach, they had just 696 fans in the crowd to watch their game against Al-Riyadh.
I mean, when you look at what the country is also doing with boxing, UFC, WWE, and the like, it feels different from what’s happening with football. They’re able to fill up the arenas in these different sports, even hosting really distinguished personalities from all over the world, but that’s a far cry from what’s happening with football in the same country.

The top 5 attended football Leagues worldwide on average this season :
1. Bundesliga
2. Premier League
3. La Liga
4. Bundesliga 2
5. Serie A
You can buy players on Saudi money, fans you can not...
Look at Indonesia they have most craziest football fans but they are weak in it😂😂
The PL has currently some very small stadium clubs, Luton-10k, Bournemouth-11k, Brentford- 17k, which would bring down the average significantly.
you want the spl to be in the too 5 bro?
Damn Bundesliga 2 is doing better than Serie A 😮
@@alokinale2074 Yeah, that's because we have a lot of big, traditional clubs in Bundesliga 2 too, former German champions among them.
133 fans these are only staff working in the stadium 😂😂😂😂
it didn’t flop, just small clubs vs small clubs don’t attract any fans thus the low attendance, while big matches (half the spl matches) have high attendance
You're wrong on that. Even big clubs Vs each other attract only 10,000 - 15,000.
al hilal vs al feiha which isn’t even a big match had 60k attendance
@@eqond you gotta look at the average attendance not just 1 game besides i would like to see a source for that one all in all only al nasar actually pulls some below average attendance out of them with like 20k per match the other clubs can't even get 10k on good day so basically it's the ronaldo league people only care about it because ronaldo is there as soons as he leaves soudi will crumble
@@Aran-_- the source is fucking wikipedia, im a saudi who watches the saudi pro league, you’re a fucking american who sits on his couch all day telling people what to think of their own league
Copium is strong here
Bro even the indian super league doesnt have this bad attendance lol the lowest indian league attendance was like 365 people last season
Most fans in Saudi are player fan not team fans.
@@NanobanaKinako bro?????
Bro I went some matches avg attendance was 5-6k
yeah mostly people in the east and south care about football because the rest play cricket and field hockey@@h_xrshit
361
It's never going to happen. The big stars are going for a paycheck and that's it. Hopefully ronaldo retires soon so this joke of a league can die off.
Buying big players doesn't realistically sky rocket a leagues popularity. There has to be a stable setting for the leagues, there's no flow from viewers because most of them are there for watching the big players just as mentioned in the video,by the time viewers start flowing with the league and it's matches,then the RSL will be known as league power all over the world
Lies again? Serie A Leader Driver Chauffeur
not only that but a few big names dosnt make a team good. They are relying on names not a cohesive team of elite players.If any of these teams went to the champions league they would get wiped. And the attendance issues is going to make things worse becuase it means money for the larger names is coming straight out the pockets of the sheiks not the clubs meaning its extremely unsustainable.
They need to build an actual grassroots culture, then go from there.

@@leo-messi61portugal lost to slovenia😂
Did you guys not watch the video? Al Ahli and Al Nasr also have played home matches with only 17k attendance. My 2. Bundesliga club Kaiserslautern is never below 38k at home.
Even my own Bundeliga 2 club has more people watching than those two clubs, and we're not even a "football city".
At this rate the clubs would probably pay ppl to be fake fans in their stadium 😂
That happened in Qatar 2022
Theu already do who knows😂
They do its been confirmed in skme matches they get workers eho are immigrants to dress up in clubs shirts and merchandise and sit in stands
Wouldn't surprise me at all.
Saudis love football, every kid plays football in the streets. Its also their national sports. That shows how a few rich clubs buying big players from Europe did not change the dynamics of the league to the people of the country.
Except the girls of course!!!
LOL. Playing football in the streets is done globally. Saudis just aren't any good at any sport.
It's just lame sport washing by a corrupt country.
I think their not getting as much viewership and fans coming to the stadium because you also need young players that are exciting and have good potential.
Poor Ronaldo . 😢. While Messi fills stadiums in the states . Ronaldo can not drive 10k to his games . That has got to hurt Ronaldo’s ago .
No, liar. When Ronaldo's there than the attendance is full. When he's absent then of course empty seats for sure , same thing with Neymar.
@@curtiswilkerson298😂watch al nasars last league match😂😂😂😂
They still get paid.. clubs probably left holding the bag. Maybe they should buy fans too
Maybe because no foreigners want to go to a place that will arrest you for hugging someone or holding someone's hand?
ههههههههه لن يتم اعتقالك لهذي الاسباب الا اذا كنت شاذا لأن الشواذ غير مرحب فيهم في بلدنا يمكنك ممارسة شذوذك في بلدك المليء بالمشردين والمليء بالمجرمين اللذين سيقطعون يدك من اجل سرقة ساعة رولكس او طعنك ٢٢طعنه من اجل سرقة محفظتك
The Saudi League is the 3rd most profitable league in the world, and its viewership has skyrocketed by a staggering 650% in the past two years. The primary challenge for the league is attracting more fans to the stands, which is due to the high travelling costs between rivals cities and ticket prices that are almost twice as expensive as the Premier League. Saudi Arabia has a young population, and affording these expenses can be challenging. However, when you look at a derby for example, the stadiums are always full, saying that football is flopping in Saudi Arabia is completely wrong
These players eventually leave. They should invest more into academies and making the sport more attractive for fans. They still need to do major infrastructure upgrades to stadiums. Saudi Football can never improve if the domestic fans don’t show up.
@@LordPanda-wz9oq they’ll eventually leave & new players will eventually come, & they do invest into academies, but you really can’t spend tens of millions on a wonderkid like how you would do on players like karim, & it’s been less than a year so even if they put in massive work into their academies we can’t see it yet..
@@Quipielet's see if it's like China
Once Ronaldo leaves the viewers will also leave
@@sujiks9517facts. Dude said only Ronaldo games attract 16000 ppl. It's hard to predict what will happen when CR7 retires
The famous clubs of Europe are steeped in history. Can't buy that overnight. Long-established rivalry between clubs is fanatical and people live for the game.
Travel in the USA is about the same. No excuse for the failure of this league.
We all witnessed how stadiums couldnt be filled in Qatar, but it's not a one day thing to develop that
I was part of the world cup last year in Qatar. Literally every match the stadiums were full. I even watched a match at Al Bayt Stadium as well. The problem with you is that you watch too much Biased Western Media who have no credibility at all. They will constantly target Qatar but won't say a single word about America, Canada and Mexico hosting the world cup despite America and Canada giving billion dollars of aid to Israel which is currently committing a Genocide against Palestinians in Gaza. The aid that Israel receives from America is unconditional and literally no western media even has the guts to even question it
Haha they had to pay people to pose as fake fans😂😂😂😂😂
@@rogeliogonzalez2958your so dumb and delusional. If South Asians are supporting Argentina, Brazil, England, France etc how are they paid fans. South Asians especially Indians, Pakistanis and Bangladeshis are huge fans of football. And they organized all these marches and I was part of those marches and nobody paid us to go there. We went by our own selves. You just believe anything whatever western media crap tells you. Go and see how football is popular in India, Pakistan and Bangladesh. When Argentina won the world cup last year they thanked their fans especially the ones from India, Pakistan and Bangladesh.
Well, some hundred fans in a lot of games are no comparison to Quatar
😂 cr7 fans are insane bro Qatar was used for the wc the biggest event itw Saudi league is statically worse than bundesliga 2
The Weather don't help the fans to show up, 6 months of the year is extremely hot, plus everyone is watching in private places here in Saudi such as lounges personal lounges (Isteraha) coffee shops, house etc under the AC, another point is that the small clubs have almost no fans only the big 5-6 clubs have fan
Not a largely populated country. They are also a non athletic people.
Because the saudi league is 💩 a few good players past their prime mixed with players who have no talent. Who wants to watch that 😂 the little Ronaldo fanboys will watch it but thats it. English womens teams play more exciting football and get more fans.
Sorry but there is a lot of miss information in this video for an example it takes 2 hours to go from riyadh to jeddah in the video it says it takes 11hours
Well, this doesn't mean that the entire video is fake or bad. It's true that only Ronaldo matches attract a lot fans. All u did just catched one mistake to like it really say the video is trash
2 hours if you fly...12 hours by bus ( i did it) not many fans will do this. The big 4 still have big away supports in the big cities...they have supporters all over the country but I don't think they will travel unless its a very important derby or cup final. The problem is the very small supports at some smaller clubs...they have literally no support...like al riyadh. This will have to change.
Unless top leagues disappears from the earth, i dont see saudi league replacing any top league. Brazilian league has everything yet its not in top league.
The big players in Saudi Arabia are just drawing attention from people outside of the country to just watch it on tv
Saudis don't Even like their own league.
A very narrow minded and western propagonistic take on an up and coming football League.
Nobodys a fan of the teams... in Europe you hear a lot about the club itself not just the players
This is really good news! Stop the sportwashing
There's no sportswashing. This is league football, it's what every club in Europe does too. So I don't understand what the big deal is.
i think you misunderstood something. in europe people have rights and youre not killed for being gay, or a free woman fex

I'd rather watch MLS... and I follow MLS but not as much as the top 4 to 5 euro leagues. Could careless about Saudi league my only interest is how many players are unhappy there.
Your opinion doesn't matter as football has been at zero level in India for decades.
Bro, in Toowoomba, Qld, Australia, Me and the boys went to watch the local grand finals for our club. Keep in mind this is FQPL 3, like Under 14/15 to Women and Men. The stadium we were in could hold about 9,000 people. There were probably about 5,000 there. And your telling me that my local clubs are pulling more fans than Steven Gerrards Al Ettifaq with Jordan Henderson and the like. That blows my mind. 🤯🤯
There’s a better footballing culture in Australia than Saudi.
Wow. I live in Brisbane. I didn't know Toowoomba actually pulls such big numbers in football. Good to see!
فرحان بـ٥٠٠٠ مشجع؟ حضور جماهير الهلال يصل الى ٦٠الف متفرج اما بخصوص مباراة الاتفاق ضد الرياض كانت بأرض نادي الرياض وهذا النادي صاعد ولا يمتلك جماهير لأن بمدينة الرياض يوجد فيها نادي الهلال والنصر من هناك مهتم بمتابعة نادي الرياض
Football is flopping in Saudi Arabia with the biggest signings imaginable, while in small countries, especially New zealand, after nz and Australia hosted the 2023 women's world cup, football is skyrocketing in NZ, more than it ever had, young players with so much potential, going to big premier league clubs and euro clubs. New zealand is rapidly being colonised, if you will by football.
How is it flopping and it’s just been one year? 😂, the fact he made a video about it tells you something
Have not watched a single match. No idea what Al something team will win it. It's just not an important league with irrelevant clubs. I keep watching Champions League, La Liga, Premier.
BUT Al hilal have won the most Asian champions leagues in history!! I know asian football is off the radar of European fans...I'm Scottish and have only recently have i paid attention and learned about all the Al's😅 and I am a world football connoisseur. FOOTBALL in Asia generally is a fairly new development. Even japan and South korea didn't have proper leagues till the 80s while the Saudi teams have been around since the 50s!!!

1. Infrastructure and Facilities
2. Fan Engagement and Attendance
3. Broadcasting and Media Rights
4. Youth Development
5. League Structure and Competitiveness
6. Marketability and Branding
7. Quality of Play
8. Economic Stability
These are the things which is used to determine League ranking
Thats why Mls is ranked 16th and saudi is 30+...
Messi/Ronaldo can make their Respective league popular not better...
Throwing insane amounts of money at football will NOT make saudi survive the oil extinction crisis..
Not so much flopping, more not living up to the unrealistic hype that came from the signings made and media. The reason? Just don’t have a grassroots footballing culture (just throwing money at players isn’t the answer) and Saudi culture isn’t appealing to most people. Their image just isn’t good.
Because fans can see through the bs. One star playing against nobodies isn’t interesting. It was different when Ronaldo was with Man U & Real Madrid etc. Week in week out he played against other top players and opposition- that’s not the case in Saudi and everyone can see it. It’s a joke watching Ronaldo score against nobodies. Not worthy of your money, obviously
Nobodies really
This could be the start of a downfall
These are horrible numbers considering football games in India attract decent numbers and we’re not even a football country!
LOL those are laughable number. In Morocco the last match between Moroccan women and Nigerian women brought 45000 fans to the stadium
It should flop! They are literally destroying football!!!
11 hours from one city to another? Bro they have planes.
131 including or excluding friends/free tickets/family?
71,239 fans in one game left the chat 💀
I better watch barca femeni or the entire WUCL than watching Saudi Arabia league
Women's Football is literally a joke 😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@ezraezra2928better than saudi still
They just need messi and the stadium would be packed. The real goat
There is no culture of sport in Saudi which means that things will get worse before it gets better. For football they need to generate some home grown talent by 2034 as opposed to relying on ageing stars like Ronaldo, Neymar and Benzema.
They didn't learn lol, look what happened at China before
Buying big players doesn't mean attention of other palyers or others to look at
I've watched some of the Saudi League games and the overall feeling is exactly what you would expect, it all feels very plastic. The best games are obviously from the top 4 best teams bought by the kingdom and then you have basically an abysmal difference to the other teams which also reflects on attendance in stadiums which are pitiful. I thought from the beginning that this was a horrible investment if they were thinking about making their money back selling the leagues transmission rights as even the other best european leagues have problems doing that like the Bundesliga or the italian serie a that has lost a lot of the prestige it once had. Maybe their goal is to clean their name and the associations people make when they hear about them , which may work out for some time but frankly it all just seems like another horrible investment decision by the PIF trying to turn saudi into a tourist destination cause that's the only idea these guys seem to have.
They also bought the world cup
why you so obsessed then lol
@@Ikhlashasib10making a comment = obsessed ok lmao
Unfortunately, you got wrong sources or you just wrote the content without sources.
First, travel between Alhilal and Alittihad is not 11 hours. The truth is around 4 to 3 hours. Are you sure about 11 hours?? I went to U.S.A. from Saudi Arabia in 13 hours 😂
Second, All those stars came this year except Ronaldo he came last year to Saudi league. You have to watch the games 3 and 4 years ago. In Ittihad stadium audiences were around 60,000 attended. That’s only in one game . I didn’t mention Alhilal or Alnasser.
You have to take time to understand what is Saudi League. And please respect your fans by giving them the truth.
fr. 24 hours is roughly the time to fly from New York to Jakarta Indonesia, halfway around the world. I’m pretty sure the distance between any two cities in Saudi are nowhere near to a quarter of the globe’s circumference LOL
and he spent nearly a minute in a six-minute long video doubling down on that talking point too. it’s about 6.5 hours to fly from NYC to LA and nobody thinks that’s a serious impediment for any of the major north American sports leagues, including the MLS
You can buy all the stars you want, but you can’t make anyone care. Sport is about more than just the squad sheet, it’s also about history and passion. You can’t buy that.
5 more years, i feel like its only natural that these clubs sign even more big players once their existing players retire
mate what? how is it flopping if it’s been less than 1 year 😂
Don't waste ur time on him he is avarge pessidoggy
@@AbdeGOAT33 don't be an idiot
First, football makes a lot more from Tv viewership rather than stadium attendance. Second, they do make a lot outside Saudi Arabia rather than within and that's the goal, third can we give them time? Its been what? A year? Barely... Let's give them at least 5 years
They spent 1 billion+ you can say give them time, 1 billion can change an entire country 😂 also 8th division clubs get more than a pro league game, do you know how pathetic that is 😂
What’s the problem they can buy viewers and followers 😂
The reason why epl is so profitable and watched across the globe is the FANS!!!Fan have a connection and support their clubs through watching ,buying their kits! fans across the globe make sure they watch games involving their clubs,very few leagues in the world have fans supporting their clubs like epl.
al hilal to al ittiihad is only 1 hour and not 11
Via car
by car not even 11 hours
Everyone will have different opinions on this which is absolutely fine, I have and will continue to enjoy the Saudi pro league! It’s certainly helped with the bigger names joining in terms of recognition but I think the young home grown talent has been good to see.
4:16 ليس لها علاقة بنيمار 😂 حضور جماهير الهلال يصل الى ٦٠الف متفرج منذ اكثر من ٤٠سنة ولكن بعض العقبات تخفض نسبة الجماهير ، عدد المتفرجين ٨٠٠٠ بسبب ان الملعب لا يمكنك الوصول له سوى بالسيارة بسبب بعد المساحة وعندما تصل لن تجد موقف للسيارة فتضطر الوقوف بعيدا داخل الاحياء السكنية والطقس حار والملعب لا يحتوي على التكييف لذا الجماهير تفضل مشاهدتها عبر التلفاز الا في حال تم نقل المباراة بملعب رائع مثل المملكة ارينا او ستاد الملك فهد ستجد المدرجات ممتلئة
There's a club in india which give biriyani for coming to this stadium for their home match. Saudi clubs should try something like that!
well ronaldo is not giving any impact after all
Far better than messi tho. That midget can't even attract 5 people to his league.
Because Cricket 🏏 storms coming soon in Saudi Arabia 🎉🎉
Lmao no one cares about cricket in Saudi Arabia
saudi clubs need to built the infrastructure of young talent players to make the league competitive and they need to improve their academy and schools for football for that
buying superstars will increase views and fans of the club but in order for the league to grow, they need every club to be competitive and not just the top 4 clubs there only
Football is about heritage, rivalries and club culture. For many it is a religion, how do you expect it to thrive in a country dominated by an actual religion? Hosting one time events like boxing matches etc is fine, the spectacle element will always be high there. Ask the average football supporter, "what team does Ronaldo, Benzema, Neymar or Mane play for?" Crickets. Al something will be the most likely answer. If they really want to build football over there they're going to have to build the legacy of their clubs and they're not going to do that JUST by buying iconic players who are going to come there to collect their retirement cheques. There needs to be a broader strategy that includes interclub tournaments at the highest levels i.e. Champions League. Perhaps a multi-region league like the villanised Super League where the best come to compete can work. Having the top 4 clubs from each continent play off for a Global Club Championship would be someting everyone would want to see. Then the Saudi clubs would have a chance to sell some of their truly talented local stars to other teams. The Saudi league could become a great feeder league for youngsters not just an attractive option for players in their prime or nearing the end of their careers. They have the money to make a such a thing happen. Hell I might even book a flight to Riyadh to watch Boca Juniors play Bayern Munich in the Global Cup Final if that ever happened.
The big 4 already have an established fan base...the problem is that the smaller teams don't have the same support, but I think that will be the next development...to increase investment in the smaller sides. New stadiums will be needed ( and have been been built quickly for the likes of el ettifaq and al shabab) hopefully, these new stadiums and the increase in the quality of local teams and the attraction of seeing the big boys will see the crowds at the smaller clubs take route. Also, once transportation improves that will make attendances go up too ( I hope!) Although the Saudis like their 4x4s so maybe that won't make too much difference. It's going to be hard...as youngsters these days want to associate with the stars for the glamour on social media. However, I think the Muslim societies need a release valve , and football can certainly provide that in the traditionally Conservative societies so while your observation is correct , certain muslim countries have well documented passion for the game eg turkey, Morocco, Egypt eg and even saudi have the rivalries and prestige with the big 4. They aren't starting from scratch...however to build a really competitive league is going to take time...and might well fail if the money runs out...but if they invest wisely...not wasting money on neymars..they can definitely move up the hierarchy. However, I can't see the saudi league really challenging the big 5 leagues any time soon.
This video is basically cherry-picking data to fit your narrative, Football was very popular in Saudi even before all the stars arrived, it's a huge country with a lower population
No big history just a decent pay check
You could take all the big names out of English football and still it would still be the greatest league in the world. Why! because of the Fans and their love of the game and their clubs. Built over centuries. A hell of a lot longer than the existence of Saudi Arabia.
How much has United, City, New castle and Chelsea has spent in last 10 years? Where was your passion stopping from spending that much money?
@@the4eyedowl341 thousand turn up each week to support their clubs that are not fans of City, United or Newcastle.
The money spent on players at those clubs is to mostly compete for "fickle" world audiences in Asia Africa china USA and of course the Middle East. You fail to understand real supporting fans turn up week in, week out regardless of success or money spent . It's sometimes built.
its history. It's tribal. it's passed down.
@@michaeloshea5505 Yeah, yeah, they are completely not glory hunters. Money was the only way City could compete with the European giants or else it would have been an irrelevant mid table team. It's just few teams that keeps dominating world football and that's mostly because of money. Seria A has been a better league for decades but yet it's struggling now.
@@the4eyedowl341 I think one thing covid provid. That without supporters turning up at the grounds "regardless how much money is spent on their flamboyant mercenaries" the game and the clubs lacked any heart or soul and the spectacle wasn't even worth watching on TV. and to think all that money spent and they end up with PSG. The big clubs will eventually leave England and people will tire of it all. But there will still be football clubs, football fans and supporters. Real fans still want their clubs to battle like hell for the league cup "EFL'" and no matter where they are in the league they want them to spill blood to win their local Derbys.
@@michaeloshea5505 And you think Saudis don't care about their clubs? They don't have the kind of population England has and half of their population includes immigrants. You might be new to this league but we people that has been following the teams and clubs long before still care about it. Saudi fans has existed before some of these foreign players came in and will still do after they leave. Football is the most popular sport in Saudi and will be for a long time.
Big clubs will leave England? Will be interesting to see how irrelevant England will become.
Give it time for it to improve. Building a strong league takes years. Remember that football doesn't revolve around Europe, ok?
We all know it doesn't. There are lots of good teams and clubs in South America and Africa too. Yet people generally watch the European leagues. Somehow football doesn't seem to be a national sport in Saudi Arabia. How many internationally known football players has Saudi Arabia produced? Offhand, I can't even think of a single one.
It kinda does. And attendance isnt improving in Saudi Arabia
Rubbish league

It takes decades for a country to build football glory. Just spending money randomly won't necessarily have any adverse effect. Good thing Saudi has a lot of money to spend for now but can't be so sure about the future tho.

the only very popular is ronaldo , when he retired thats it , its over for football in saudi arabia , theres no player have charisma like ronaldo or messi
Those were Al ettifaq away games check the fans in there home games you will have your answer
J League,K League,A League Has a better quality football then SPL & Indian super league has 3rd high attandance league in Asia despite their love for cricket
And Indonesians 😂😂
they need to invest in grassroot first....not sure why they are starting from the top and going down,that method never works......start hosting mini tournaments with international academies e.g madrid and barcelona......clubs should also participate in local events just like rugby players
Like most of the world Never heard of him!
But as for Jamaica I heard of
Brian Lara, Viv Richards and Clive Lloyd,

True signibg big players won't make Saudi league have higher views
they are signing players past their primes.
Yeah, because they can't attract any other players.
Saud football is getting hit….now a day people is watching from whole over the world

How come most of the people I KNOW Dgaf about that league... stop talking nonsense. Only people interested in this league are people who keep pining over Cristiano as if it's still 2014 or something. The man is old move on.
