Abbreviation: SPL
The Saudi Arabian football league, commonly known as the "Camel League".
It was created by
Arab royalty for entertainment, so astronomical funds are spent, and big names from all over the
world are bought for an amount that surpasses that of big European clubs.
Basically, it is a place where players who are no longer suitable for
Europe go, and except for the star players who are bought, it is a league where
Arab camel traders and milkmen play, so in a sense it is like a circus or a show, and has no value as football.
Despite this, some fans say that "the Saudi League is more competitive than the Bundesliga or Ligue 1," but they probably cannot accept that their idol is finished.
A: "Ronaldo, the
superstar of the Saudi Pro League, has scored 50 goals, so why can't he score in the
EURO or the World
Cup?"
B: "Goals in the Camel League have no value. Roughly 100 goals are equivalent to one goal in the Premier League."
