You know its going to happen. Is Cardiff in England ? Money talks to all these hypocrites in places like Uefa. Not sure how long it will take but it will certainly be in the plans of the Saudis now

I believe the Saudis have 'bought' / enticed a large proportion of the world's top golfers to enter their own prestige tournament(s) instead of the established top competitions.
I don't see why they can't make similar inroads into any other sport that has a lot of fans - especially fans of popular sports featuring on Media.

I think it would be more likely they tried to add prestige to the Asian Champions League, increased viewing for that would help a lot of the developing leagues and nations involved there.

Cardiff, Swansea and Wrexham made UEFA an offer they couldn't refuse, a lorry load of leeks, and a flock of sheep.

I am sure the Saudis care a lot about the developing world, definitely those available for slave labour.

Saudi Arabia has the highest prevalence of modern slavery of all countries in the Arab States region. Migrant workers, who comprise the majority of the workforce,1 are particularly vulnerable under the kafala system, a restrictive work permit system that ties migrant workers to their employer.2 The system embeds a steep power imbalance between employers and employees by granting employers substantial control over workers’ lives,3 with risks exacerbated during the COVID-19 pandemic.4 Despite this, Saudi Arabia is also among countries taking the most action to address modern slavery in the region. Since the 2018 Global Slavery Index, the government has improved efforts to support survivors, including by launching a National Referral Mechanism,5 and address risk factors, by implementing reforms to the kafala system,6 although these reforms have been insufficient to dismantle the system entirely. Opportunities for further action include strengthening protections for migrant workers and eradicating modern slavery from the economy.
