I’m hopeful that Saudi will change a little with more exposure to the West and western values, more Western visitors to their country, more Saudi visitors to the U.K.
It won’t happen overnight obviously.
It’s only just about been 100 years since they discovered oil in Saudi, before that they were a very sheltered desert tribal culture with little exposure to the outside world beyond other conservative Arabic/ Muslim nations.
100 years really isn’t a long time in the scheme of things but slowly, slowly things can change.
Perhaps them getting more involved in a global sport such as football will help move that change along. I hope so anyway.
