The influx of world football stars to the championship of Saudi Arabia led the leaders of the country’s football federation to think that it would be nice if the strongest club in this state took part in the strongest club tournament in the world – the League of Champions. .
According to Corriere dello Sport, Saudi football leaders want to apply to UEFA to give the national champion a special invitation to the Champions League in the 2024/25 season.
Earlier, UEFA announced a change to the tournament rules starting in 2024. The number of participants in the tournament will increase from 32 to 36, and instead of the group stage, the teams will play in the same league. Each club will play at least ten games against different rivals, five at home and away.
