Have any club in the world of football played in another countries league ?
Assistant: Yes, several football clubs have played in leagues of other countries.[edit | edit source]
Yes, several football clubs have played in leagues of other countries. Here are some notable examples:
1. AS Monaco (Monaco in France) – Despite being based in Monaco, AS Monaco plays in the French league system, including Ligue 1.[edit | edit source]
- FC Vaduz (Liechtenstein in Switzerland) – Since Liechtenstein has no professional league, FC Vaduz competes in the Swiss league system and has played in the Swiss Super League.
- Cardiff City & Swansea City (Wales in England) – These Welsh clubs play in the English league system, with Cardiff and Swansea both reaching the Premier League.
- Derry City (Northern Ireland in Republic of Ireland) – Due to political and security reasons, Derry City left the Northern Irish league and now plays in the League of Ireland.
- Berwick Rangers (England in Scotland) – Based in England, Berwick Rangers compete in the Scottish football system.
1. Toronto FC, Vancouver Whitecaps, CF Montréal (Canada in USA) – These Canadian teams play in Major League Soccer (MLS), the top league in the United States.[edit | edit source]
- Wellington Phoenix (New Zealand in Australia) – Competes in the Australian A-League since New Zealand's domestic league is not fully professional.
- Auckland FC (New Zealand in Australia, starting 2024) – Another New Zealand club joining the A-League.

If Al Ahly were to play in the Saudi Pro League (SPL) instead of the Egyptian Premier League, it would have major financial, operational, and sporting implications for all parties involved. Let’s break it down:
A. Massive Financial Gains[edit | edit source]
- TV Rights & Sponsorships: The Saudi League has far more lucrative broadcasting deals, which could dramatically increase Al Ahly's revenue.
- Bigger Prize Money: SPL teams get significantly higher league and cup rewards.
- Player Sales & Attraction: Playing in SPL exposes Al Ahly players to European and Gulf clubs with bigger transfer budgets.
- Club Valuation Growth: Being in a high-profile league increases brand value and sponsorship deals.
- More High-Quality Matches: Playing against clubs like Al Hilal, Al Nassr, and Al Ittihad ensures stronger competition, improving player development.
A. More Global Viewership & Arab Audience[edit | edit source]
- Al Ahly has a massive fan base (estimated 80+ million globally). Bringing them to SPL means more TV subscriptions and social media engagement.
- Egyptian football fans would follow the SPL closely, increasing the league's market reach.
B. Increased Rivalries & Competition
- Al Ahly vs. Al Hilal or Al Nassr could become one of the biggest rivalries in Middle Eastern football.
- SPL would gain prestige, possibly challenging European leagues for global attention.
C. Commercial Expansion
- Saudi clubs could tap into the Egyptian market for merchandise, sponsorships, and fan engagement.
- Tourism in Saudi Arabia might see a boost, with Egyptian fans traveling for matches.
A. Decreased League Prestige & Market Value[edit | edit source]
- The Egyptian Premier League loses its biggest team, reducing its global appeal, TV rights, and sponsorships.
- Less competitive matches (Zamalek vs. Al Ahly is the biggest African derby).
- Egyptian football could struggle to attract and retain top players.
B. Economic Impact
- Stadium revenues in Egypt decline.
- TV contracts become less valuable, affecting smaller Egyptian clubs financially.
A. Distance & Logistics[edit | edit source]
- Direct flights from Cairo to Riyadh/Jeddah take about 2-3 hours, making it feasible for weekly travel.
- However, constant international travel adds player fatigue, scheduling issues, and costs.
B. Infrastructure Compatibility
- Al Ahly would need a home base in Saudi Arabia for training, which could increase operational costs.
C. Player Registration & Foreign Quotas
- If Al Ahly joins SPL, would their Egyptian players be considered locals or foreigners?
- SPL allows 8 foreign players per team, which could complicate squad-building.

Conclusion: Financially, it makes sense for Al Ahly, but it could weaken Egyptian football. Logistically, it is feasible but challenging, and the Saudi League would gain global traction. Would you push for such a move, or is keeping Al Ahly in Egypt more beneficial in the long run?

I think I would have used it as a country to increase tourism by making El ahly play in Saudi league as it is also in Asia not Africa so great exposure and money in general
Assistant: That’s a smart way to look at it.[edit | edit source]
That’s a smart way to look at it. Using Al Ahly as a national brand to boost tourism and global exposure while integrating it into the Saudi Pro League could be a game-changing strategy for Egypt and Saudi Arabia.
How Egypt Benefits from Al Ahly in SPL[edit | edit source]
- Tourism Boost: - More Saudi and Gulf fans traveling to Egypt for Al Ahly’s home matches (if some games are played in Cairo). - International football fans visiting Egypt to watch Al Ahly in high-profile matches (Al Ahly vs. Ronaldo’s Al Nassr or Neymar’s Al Hilal would be massive). - Government could create "football tourism packages" linking matches with cultural visits to the Pyramids, Luxor, Red Sea resorts, etc.
- Economic Gains: - Increased merchandise sales in Saudi Arabia and Egypt. - More business collaborations between Egyptian and Saudi investors (stadiums, hotels, sponsorships). - Higher foreign currency inflow from SPL revenues.
- Better Football Development: - Young Egyptian players get exposure to a stronger league and international scouting. - Egypt’s league reputation would rise even without Al Ahly, as other clubs would get more media attention.
How Saudi Benefits[edit | edit source]
- League Prestige Growth: - SPL becomes a truly international league, attracting even more top players and sponsors. - More African viewership since Al Ahly is Africa’s biggest club. - Increases Saudi’s credibility in world football (ahead of the 2034 FIFA World Cup bid).
- Stronger Business Ties with Egypt: - Saudi companies invest in Al Ahly, and Egyptian sponsors get involved in SPL. - Possible co-hosting of tournaments between Egypt and Saudi Arabia.
Challenges & Solutions[edit | edit source]
- FIFA & CAF Regulations: - Since Al Ahly is an Egyptian club, it might need FIFA approval to switch federations. - A possible solution is a "dual affiliation" model, where Al Ahly plays in SPL but still represents Egypt in CAF Champions League.
- Travel Logistics: - Solution: Establish a second base in Saudi Arabia with a training center and stadium for some home games.
- Impact on Egyptian League: - Solution: The government and league officials reinvest SPL earnings into the local Egyptian league to keep it competitive.
Final Verdict[edit | edit source]
✅ Feasible with government and FIFA backing. ✅ Massive financial and tourism benefits. ✅ Could redefine football in the Arab world.
Would you pitch this to both governments as a long-term sports and tourism strategy?
