Date of publishing:February 21, 2022

Link: https://hir.harvard.edu/refinery-fc-how-oil-rich-nations-are-invading-global-soccer/

Relevant information highlighted: Nober (February 2022) In many cases, despite the shell
companies and funds that officially own clubs, the link between team and state is strong. One
study found that state-owned clubs buying especially expensive players are linked to variations
in prevailing market prices of oil. The sheikhs raise the price of oil to recoup the money.

Title of article: " How Rich Arab Princes Are Buying Famous European Football Clubs"

Author: Hamaad Habibullab

Date of publishing:November 11, 2021

Relevant information highlighted: The Qatari and UAE states are the others, who already
own a club in European Football leagues. Millions are spent and earned in football, especially in
Europe, with debate on how money has over time controlled the game. The Sheikh involvement
in clubs is just an example of capital involvement in football, as many aspects of the club in
particular and sport in general change with their investment in the game.

Relevant information highlighted: Middle Eastern owners’ big spending in Europe is thought
to be driving up player costs across the board. Critics have also raised concerns about the
Middle Eastern countries’ human rights records, and whether their investments are
“sportswashing”—sponsoring athletics to improve a government’s public standing and distract
from bad behavior.
Title of article: "Why Don’t Football Fans and Arab Sheikhs Love Each Other?"

Author: Ellis Cashmore

Relevant information highlighted: Countless figures of money move in the world thanks to
football, and it is precisely this situation that motivates Arab billionaires, better known as

years. Several are the sheikhs who have acquired football clubs in the 21st century. One of the
most recognized is Mansour bin Zayed Al-Nahyan, an Emirati politician and businessman who
is a member of the ruling family of Abu Dhabi and the Supreme Council of Petroleum.
