Well, Saudi league is better than J League in the AFC Ranking, and the J League is very good at developing young talents, so the Saudi league must have at least some quality in it. Saudi players don't go abroad, so people often discredit their league in the past

Really ? Because I’ve heard good things about the J League in terms of technicality. I’ve watched a handful of Saudi games this season and I can tell you the overall level is really really bad, especially tactically

AFC Ranking. Points are calculated from the most recent 8 seasons from 2014 to 2022 (excluding 2020)

From 2014 to 2022, Saudi Arabia won 2 AFC Champions Leagues, during that time Japan had 3, South Korea had 2, China 1, Australia 1.

But Saudi teams made the final five times during that time frame. And semi final 6 times.
