The head of the Saudi Entertainment Authority, Turki Al-Sheikh, stressed that the crisis of the spread of the Coruna virus will negatively affect world football, in economic aspects.
"I think the world of football will differ a lot after Coruna, a lot of clubs in the world will suffer, and the price of players will decrease," said the owner of the Spanish club Almeria through his Facebook account.
He added: "Sponsors will be reduced, and the income of stadiums will be affected and television transmission as well. I think we are facing a new world in football, and we will need for many years to return to the same football situation in 2019, unfortunately." He concluded: "This talk does not include Almeria, God willing." .
