Will we get another controversial country as the organizer of the World Cup? Saudi Arabia is a candidate for that of 2030 and is increasingly throwing in the fight to polish its image. For example, Cristiano Ronaldo would earn an additional 200 million euros to promote the candidacy. Lionel Messi is already a tourism ambassador, Premier League club Newcastle United has been in Saudi hands for a while and from tonight there will be the Spanish Super Cup in the capital Riyadh again. All deals of hundreds of millions, together billions: the amounts are hallucinating.
