Saudi Arabian league organizers, calculating the arriving stars and planning for the growth of popularity, are delighted with incredible numbers.

As reported by the website "Livescore", interest in the Middle East league has increased hundreds of times in recent years.

A results website with 50 million unique visitors per month analyzed each league section and recorded that the attendance of the Saudi Arabian championship rose from 11 thousand to 1.1 million views per month.

It is claimed that Lionel Messi's arrival at the MLS Miami "Inter" club did not provide the "explosion effect".

The US championship section receives approximately 537 thousand visits per month and lags behind the Arab championship twofold.
