It will obviously be governed by the motivation/intentions of each country but strategically they will be similar.

Think each one will be realistic and know that they don’t yet have the infrastructure to support more then one team economically. These are what NZers call third world countries with a lot of poverty.

Despite the Saudi money, I think everyone realises that this is not a gravy train and each country/club will do well to survive long term.

In order to win the league they couldn’t however afford to run the risk and dilute their player resources by two.
