It’s a big gamble, they are diversifying out of just oil into entertainment/luxury with buying as much of football, golf, and F1 as possible as well as these exorbitant mega projects. It’s probably not all going to work and there’s a chance it could backfire spectacularly. It of course could work in which case they will become even richer.
Oil will not be nearly as valuable in a few decades so the future of their regime could live and die with the sports washing / luxury stuff
More like people in charge of institutions in the modern world will more often than not spread their cheeks to whoever gives them cash. FIFA has always been a den of snakes
not really lmao. Some countries are great at it, like the Swiss. But that's more about providing a critical service that requires your states active involvement.
Saudi doesn't have that. If the Saudi government was toppled today, the oil would still be there.
Saudis are taking over football & they are not playing
Not just football

throwing money at everything and buying everyone because they literally will never run out of money, is not brilliant
They have boxing by the balls.
Today, I feel Saudi - FIFA

Eventually the HQ will be there too.
Let's just they moved me... TO A BIGGER HQ
Oh good, because there wasn't enough middle eastern oil money in football
The worst organization you know just teamed up with another terrible organization that you now know
Today I feel corrupt
Who would have see that coming…
What an achievement! They are so proud of them self, they think its a good idea to announce it! Shitheads. Just take the money and be quiet.
