Ambitious Saudi Arabia and the resurgent football there aim for another goal.

"Calcio Finanza" reports that Saudi Arabia aims to have one representative from the Saudi Arabian professional football league in the 2024-25 Champions League season.

The Arabs would like the winner of the local championships to play in the Champions League. Last season, the league was won by the "Al-Ittihad" club.

"Marca" confirmed that although such a possibility seems distant, discussions have taken place between UEFA and Saudi Arabian representatives.

Saudi Arabia, attracting a large number of stars to their league, aims to rival the most popular European leagues.
