What’s next for Saudi football?

By Saoud Moussa Baccus Photo by Abdulaziz Alshammari from Pexels (downloaded on 24 January 2023). By now, most fair-minded people will have concluded that the 2022 World Cup tournament in Qatar was a relative success and not the failure many had hoped. In three years, when the prelude to the next World Cup starts, it is reasonable to believe that two teams will be mentioned: Saudi Arabia and Morocco. The first for beating Argentina, the eventual winner, and the second for reaching the last four, thus becoming the first African, Arab-Amazigh and Muslim country to make it that far. On paper, Saudi Arabia and Morocco are miles apart. Look at the chart below (data is from FIFA): The progress made by Morocco from December 2018 to December 2022 is remarkable by any standards. They leapt 29 spots while Saudi Arabia managed to climb up 20. A truism to be factored in, going from 40 to 11 is much harder because you are now entering the territory of football’s giants. But these two co

The tried and tested football academies

By Saoud Moussa Baccus Photo by Kampus Production from Pexels (downloaded on 2 February 2023). In a world dominated by a handful of national football teams, success is often defined by turning back the calendar to many years ago, more precisely by how you developed your youth. There are currently 143 French professional footballers plying their trade in Europe’s top four leagues: 34 in England, 41 in Germany, 31 in Spain and 37 in Italy. In the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, 59 players were born in France: 22 played for France, 10 for Tunisia, 9 for Senegal, 8 for Cameroon, 4 for Ghana, 2 for Morocco, 1 each for Germany, Spain, Portugal and Qatar. Comparing the numbers with the 2018 FIFA World Cup, 50 players were born or raised in France. This is not a coincidence. Of the last seven FIFA World Cups, from 1998 to 2022, France made it to the final four times, winning two convincingly and losing two on penalties. This was no fluke. So, why do French players excel in football? The answer

Former CEO of Manchester City Garry Cook now serves as Executive President & CEO of the Saudi Pro League!

By Saoud Moussa Baccus Screenshot of Garry Cook's LinkedIn profile (accessed on 28 January 2023). Further evidence that the Saudi Pro League means business. News that Garry Cook, a former CEO of Manchester City, has been appointed to run the Saudi Pro League should not come as a surprise. Previous football-related decisions should serve as a preamble to the appointment of the new CEO. First, the Saudi Public Investment Fund bought Newcastle of the English Premier League. That was the sound of the bugle waking the world up. Second, and very significantly, a women’s football league was launched in February 2020. Third, Al Nassr scooped up Ronaldo for an astronomical sum. Fourth, Saudi Arabia is going to bid to host the FIFA World Cup in 2030. Hence, the arrival of Garry Cook at the helm of the Saudi Pro League should be looked through the prism of a vision to make Saudi Arabia a powerhouse in football. There shouldn’t be any doubt about that anymore. "Garry Cook was hired with

ما التالي لكرة القدم السعودية؟

بقلم سعود موسى باكوس تصوير عبدالعزيز الشمري من شركة ( Pexels ) (تم التنزيل في ٢٤ يناير ٢٠٢٣) الآن ، يستنتج معظم الأشخاص المنصفين أن بطولة كأس العالم ٢٠٢٢ في قطر كانت نجاحًا وليس الفشل الذي كان يأمله الكثيرون. في غضون ثلاث سنوات ، عندما تنطلق الاستعدادات لكأس العالم المقبلة ، من البديهي أنه سيتم ذكر فريقين: المملكة العربية السعودية والمغرب. الأول لهزم الأرجنتين ، الفائز النهائي ، والثاني للوصول إلى المربع الذهبي ، وبذلك أصبح أول دولة أفريقية,عربية أمازيغية ومسلمة تصل إلى هذا الحد. على الورق ، تفصل بين السعودية والمغرب أميال. انظر إلى الرسم البياني أدناه :(البيانات من FIFA) إ ن التقدم الذي أحرزه المغرب في الفترة من ديسمبر ٢٠١٨ إلى ديسمبر ٢٠٢٢ ملحوظ بكل المقاييس. لقد قفزوا ٢٩ مركزًا بينما قفزت المملكة العربية السعودية ٢٠ مقعدا. كما أن هناك حقيقة بديهية يجب أخذها في الاعتبار وهي أن الانتقال من ٤٠ إلى ١١ هو أصعب بكثير لأنك تدخل بذلك منطقة عمالقة كرة القدم لكن هذين البلدين لديهما شيء مشترك. كلاهما طموح للغاية في الأمور المتعلقة بكرة القدم، كلاهما يريد أن يكون هناك مع الكبار ، كلاهما ي

The benefits of playing among the best

By Saoud Moussa Baccus The Saudi national team and the Qatar national team have something in common. Their World Cup squad was made up entirely of home-grown players. No one played outside of their country. How significant is that? Let’s look at the table below. I am using two teams, France and Morocco, the first for its transformative success in the last seven World Cups, the latter for what it accomplished in the last World Cup. Twelve Morocco players and nineteen French players played for the top four European leagues (England, Spain, Italy and Germany). Playing in the top leagues means that you are playing among the best and toughest players. It’s not pick-up football in a park on a Sunday. Competition is ferocious and you need to be constantly playing top-notch football to be a first-choice player. There is also the all-too-important psychological factor. Gone is the inferior complex hitherto felt by many players who didn’t play in Europe. The fear once felt is replaced by a

Shifting into high gear!

By Saoud Moussa Baccus Designed for saudi-football.soccer. The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) won the bid to host the 2023 FIFA Club World Cup in 2023. The FIFA Club World Cup is an international men's football competition organised by FIFA. The winners of the AFC Champions League (Asia), CAF Champions League (Africa), CONCACAF Champions League (North, Central America and Caribbean), CONMEBOL Libertadores (South America), OFC Champions League (Oceania) and UEFA Champions League (Europe) plus the host nation meet in the finals in a straight knock-out format. This year’s FIFA Club World Cup was held in Morocco. Real Madrid was crowned champions for the fifth time after they defeated KSA’s Al-Hilal on a score of 5-3. In addition to the FIFA Club World Cup, Saudi Arabia will also host the AFC Asia Cup 2027, another major tournament involving 24 national teams from Asia. Saudi Arabia has won the cup three times but has never hosted the tournament before. Earlier in the year, the Saudi

Les étoiles marocaines du football dans le championnat saoudien

Par Mehdi El Asba Lors de mon dernier article , je vous parlais de la participation saoudienne à la Coupe du Monde 1994. Il se trouve que j’ai commencé à suivre le foot de façon plus assidue à l’issue de cette Coupe du Monde et ce, à travers mes premières étoiles de jeunesse que sont Salaheddine Bassir et Ahmed Bahja. En effet, après avoir fini meilleur buteur du championnat marocain de l’année 1993-1994, puis ébloui la planète du football par sa technique hors du temps lors de la Coupe du Monde, notamment contre l’Arabie Saoudite, Ahmed Bahja a rejoint Al Hilal de Riyad puis Al Ittihad de Djeddah où il brilla de mille feux en finissant meilleur buteur du championnat saoudien! Bahja était un joueur fantasque pétris de talent qui faisait toujours plaisir à ses supportrices et supporteurs grâce à ses gestes techniques mais aussi grâce à son tempérament imprévisible, tellement imprévisible qu’il se dit qu’après qu’un arbitre lui ai refusé un but valable, il dribbla un joueur, puis le gard
