العاطفة والكلام الشعبوي تبيع أكثر بس كمنطق

(And this is my opinion; I could be wrong)

The league is a very, very, very important product and is no less significant than the national team, especially given the boom our country is experiencing in various directions, in the renaissance we are living through economically and touristically. Is the more important product one whose competition takes place once every four years, with results that, no matter how much effort you put in, are not guaranteed and have details that are difficult to control? Or is it a product that takes place weekly?

As a soft power, as job opportunities, as an entertainment product, the league is extremely important...

Let’s take an example of a successful trend in football at this time...

Morocco is experiencing an unprecedented boom and success with its teams, from the youth teams to the national team. Emotionally, this is important, but what do you think its practical reflection is on the Moroccan people and on a citizen living inside Morocco? Does the number of job opportunities within the national teams compare to the number of job opportunities generated by the league as a product? Is there a promotional and soft power comparison between the two in terms of reaching people externally?

In summary, you can work on establishing a strong national team, and the national team has several pathways other than the league, but don’t lose along the way a promising and successful product like the league due to details like reducing the number of foreign players; because this destroys more than it builds.

A proposal like reducing the number of foreign players diminishes the momentum of your league and reduces its enjoyment and will not create a strong national team for you... Enough with immediate and emotional reactions and opinions.

In this conscious narrative, my colleague Majid Al-Shaibani said what needs to be said, and out of my admiration for this article, I shared it with you as it is so you can enjoy this post with me!
