The Saudi Pro League, newly named the ROSHN Saudi League, kicks off with excitement levels the highest it’s been for years.
New sponsorship, plenty of new signings during the summer, intrigue over who will challenge for the title and players — Saudi and foreign — eyeing the World Cup in November.
The executive director of the Saudi Pro League, Abdulaziz Al-Hamidi, stressed the organization’s commitment to progressively raising the market value of the league, which would positively impact its technical and media aspects, putting it on the path toward reaching the highest positions on the global leagues’ index.
“The latest measures open the way for a significant technical enhancement of the league’s level of competition,” he said, referring to the latest sponsorships they have received.
“Today, the league has gained great momentum, which goes in line with the strong competition we have seen in the league that has witnessed a clear technical improvement over the course of the past few years,” he added.
