BEST - 59,600. WORST - 133. A QUICK LOOK AT THE ATTENDANCES IN THE SAUDI PRO LEAGUE

After all the huge money moves over the summer I'm sure you may have recently seen a few social media posts about low attendances in The ROSHN Saudi Pro League. I thought I'd take a look at the numbers in the league games that have been played so far this season . It is published in team's current league position order. 

The largest crowd of the season so far came in the opening match week when Al Hilal played Al Feiha in front of 59,600 people. 

The lowest crowd so far came when Al Riyadh played Al Akdoud on 1st September with an attendance of 133 people.

Al Ettifaq, managed by Steven Gerrard, have an average home crowd of 7,021.  

As you would expect Al Nassr and Cristian Ronaldo are the biggest attraction with Al Fateh (13,544), Al Ettifaq (13,930), Al Taee (10,898) and Al Hazem (12,297) all having their best home crowds when playing 'The Global One' as they are nicknamed. 

Bottom of the table Al Raed had 19,710 against Al Nassr which was beaten when Al Hilal visited when 20,630 were watching.

If you exclude the 12,297 for Al Hazem's game against Al Nassr their average home crowd is 767. 

Abha opened with a crowd of 7,079 against Al Hilal who are traditionally one of the biggest and best supported clubs in Saudi Arabia - They have then followed this up with four games with an average of 675 people in attendance.
