Luis Castro on how Cristiano Ronaldo and other superstars have made the Saudi Pro League popular

The Saudi Pro League has recently seen a massive surge in popularity, as several top names from European football have arrived in the league recently.

Since Ronaldo opened the doors for other top players to arrive, the likes of Neymar, Sadio Mane, Karim Benzema have joined the cash-rich league. Al-Nassr coach Luis Castro recently said in a sports summit about Ronaldo's arrival in the SPL (via O Jogo Portugal):

"I felt that I had played the role in Brazil that had taken me there, lifting a Botafogo team that had come from the second division and that needed something done for it, giving it visibility, which was done.
"I took advantage of the opportunity in the emerging League that wants to position itself in world football. A League that has Cristiano Ronaldo, Mendy, Mahrez, Milinkovic-Savic, Mitrovic, Otavio, Ruben Neves, Fabio Martins. ... It cannot continue to go unnoticed."

The league is now broadcast in several countries across the globe, and more big names look set to join the competition in the coming months. Hence, the attention level is going to rise for the league in the ongoing 2023-24 season.
