Sneyder: The Saudi league is not yet at the top-5 level

Former midfielder, ex-player of "Inter", "Real" and the Netherlands national team Wesley Sneijder shared his thoughts on the current state and future prospects of Saudi Arabian football. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.

In an interview with the WinWin publication, he acknowledged that the Saudi football league has made serious progress, but emphasized that it has not yet reached the level of Europe's leading championships. According to Sneijder, Saudi football is developing, investments are increasing, and infrastructure is improving.

Although the project's goals are high, it is still too early to include the league among the top five. If they continue this effort and focus on developing local youth, the results may improve.

He also highlighted several clubs. According to Sneijder, "Al-Hilal" is the most balanced team and is achieving success due to strong leadership.

"Al-Nasr," on the other hand, attracted the attention of all European football with the arrival of Cristiano Ronaldo, but this team also carries some risks due to the need to adapt to the star. These processes are of significant importance for the development of Saudi football.
