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."
