Is the Saudi Pro League the best in the world?
The Saudi League is improving and ranks around 60 in the world football league rankings. On the other hand, the top three leagues, i.e., the English Premier League, La Liga, and the Bundesliga, have a ranking of over 90 points. The league is far behind the top and isn’t the best in the world.
But in the upcoming years, they might surely rank among the top 30 leagues in the world. Moreover, if we see several players from the top leagues move to the Saudi League, they might even end up in the top 10. Undoubtedly, if European stars join the Saudi League, it will become the best in the world.
