Amanda Staveley, director of Newcastle, said that Saudi clubs will participate in the Champions League.
"I am quite confident that a Saudi club will play in the Champions League. I have no idea when exactly it will happen, but knowing the Saudis, I think it won't take long," The Athletic quoted Staveley as saying.
Earlier, Italian media reported that the Arab Football Federation is in active negotiations with UEFA to allow teams from Saudi Arabia to participate in the Champions League draw starting in 2025.
