Keywords:
football industry, sport investment, Saudi Vision 2030Abstract
This paper explores Saudi Arabia's strategic efforts to transform itself into a global football hub, examining its investment in international players and clubs, and situating these within broader economic goals, such as the Vision 2030 initiative. It compares this ambition with previous global football industry trends, such as Middle East investment, and China's failed attempt, and evaluates the sustainability of the Saudi approach.References
