With the Saudi’s building up their football, places like Neom not yet built but still attracting so many top footballers, I wonder how long they will be keeping their toy club up the road.
They will have no need to have the mags when they want to promote their domestic game.
The mags might have a huge upheaval coming and who knows what will happen when the Saudis pull out.

It will never be completed. It is a Bin Salman vanity project. Already £300bn behind budget on estimates apparently. It will get way more than that. And, whatever is said, they do not have half a trillion quid to throw away. And who wants to live in a linear, desert hellhole anyway?
This. It’s going to cost over 25x the annual Saudi budget. That’s assuming all goes well, which of course, it never does.

I’m assuming it’s being done with the World Cup in mind. As it gets closer to the date and they become more desperate to finish, they’ll no doubt be on the news with more human rights atrocities with the slave labourers they’ll have imported to complete the project.
