The Saudi Pro League struggles to attract supporters to matches, despite featuring former star players. For instance, the recent game hosted by Damac FC against Al-Taawoun saw a measly 337 attendees in a stadium with a capacity of 5,000 seats. This trend is not limited to a single match, with other games also failing to garner significant attendance numbers.
The persistent struggles of the Saudi Pro League raise questions about the sustainability of the current situation, especially when compared to the significantly higher attendance figures in other leagues. For example, Chesterfield has an average attendance of 7,893 for the 2023/24 season. The challenges faced by the Saudi Pro League in filling its stadiums highlight the need to motivate players through packed arenas and a vibrant atmosphere.
This issue becomes especially significant as the league continues to attract big names from the world of football. In addition, the community members are treated to various incentives such as competitions, special offers, promotions, and adverts from both the community and its partners.
