The land of the Arab sheikhs, where money is not a problem, but a solution, brings us the big league in Saudi Arabia for the 2023 season.
The Saudi Premier League has 16 clubs and 240 matches are played during the months of August to April. The strongest teams in the country are Al Ittihad FC Jeddah, Al-Hilal, Al Nassr FC, Al Shabab FC Riyadh and Al Faisaly FC. The professional league as we know it was founded in 1976 and the biggest champion is Al-Hilal with 15 titles won.
In fact, a curious fact that many people know is the following:
Brazilians reign there (according to the last survey there are more or less 43 Brazilian players playing) and many of our athletes who were great players here but disappeared out of nowhere are in the oil lands making their nest egg. Some Brazilians earning loads of money and putting on a great show there are:
* Romarinho (Al-Ittihad)
* Fernandão (Al Wahda)
* Marcos Guilherme (Al Wahda)
* Giuliano (Al-Nassr)
* Petros (Al-Nassr)
* Souza (Al-Ahli)
That said, I did a lot of research on the best football statistics sites and gathered the best of the best to bring you just the cream of the crop and make life easier for bettors and sports traders.
So let's go.

Summary About The 2024 Saudi Arabian Premier League
The fact is that football continues to grow there. The “Saudi Arabia Professional League” (in English) is a market attraction for Brazilian players, as they earn an absurdly high salary that they would not earn anywhere else unless they can play without any pressure from the press or fans.
The calendar is super well done and the games are all close in terms of travel distance (the country is small and that makes all the difference).
Furthermore, departures for us are between 11 am and 3 pm. Fantastic time for us Brazilians to pay attention and perhaps invest our money in the matches and why not make a living as a sports trader by also betting on this championship.
Concluding this guide, the Saudi Arabian football calendar is as follows:
- King's Cup (Saudi Arabia Kings's Cup)
- Super Cup
- First Division (series B)
- Second Division (series C)
For more information about this league, you can visit the English Wikipedia page.
Or go to this same page but translated by Google into Portuguese — and it looks just as good.

So that's it for now.
The Saudi Arabian First League is still very little known by Brazilians. From what I've seen on the market, there are some professional bettors already placing good amounts on the market.
But there are still countless investment opportunities and the league has many Brazilians and some foreigners who are really good at playing football.
In other words, more attention to Sheikh football, good investments and lots of greens for those who deserve it!
