  • Asian Football Magazine, a New Project That Will Focus on Different Regions of Asia, Exploring Football, Economic and Social Issues Linked to Our Favorite Sport
    1 It is with great pleasure that we present to our readers the first issue of All Asian Football Magazine, a new project that will focus on different regions of Asia, exploring football, economic and social issues linked to our favorite sport. In this first release we decided to focus our attention on the Arabian Peninsula, exploring the political diatribe that has been going on since 2017, when Saudi Arabia and the other Gulf monarchies decided to end diplomatic relations with Qatar. Doha has been accused of supporting terrorism, as it is closer, politically speaking, to Shiite Iran, the great enemy of Riyadh. For over a decade, the Arab states, through the richest sovereign wealth funds, have started investing in football by changing the balance of power on a global level, in a way that Russia and China have not yet managed to accomplish. The Emirs' Manchester City and Qatar's Paris Saint Germain have overturned the European transfer market by raising the bar more and more every year, up to the over 200 million euros that the Parisians spent to snatch Neymar from Barcelona. These aggressive maneuvers have led to a surge in the price of the players transfer prize, but for the two 'Arab clubs' there are consequences to pay: Manchester City was banned by UEFA to partecipate to European Cups for the next two years having violeted the Financial Fair Play, and Paris Saint Germain could be the next club to be banned. The biggest controversy in world football was the assignment of the World Cup in Qatar, an unexpected event that put the small Gulf state at the center of global attention.
