But the Saudi Arabian League is more competitive than it seems. In addition to having several South American players (mostly Brazilians) and 20 Arab national team players, it also has 10 other players who were in the last World Cup defending colors other than 'The Eagles of the Middle East'.
There are three World Cup teams that contribute players to the Saudi Arabian League: Australia (which faced Peru), Egypt, and Tunisia. And almost all of them had minutes in the last World Cup. The names of the Peruvian national team players who seek to contribute to the growth of this league will now be added to this list.
