Qatari funded 'Dream Football League'

Pop · 13-03-2013, 08:30 AM

The biggest clubs in the world are to be offered massive financial packages to compete in a 24-team tournament in Qatar every two years.

The Times report that the Qatari royal family will release plans next month to set up a 'Dream Football League' (DFL) involving clubs such as Manchester United and Barcelona in a direct threat to Champions League.

Qatar, who will host the 2022 World Cup, are aiming to become a major power in world football and are reported to be willing to offer each club £175million just for taking part.

To put that in perspective, Chelsea were awarded £47.3m for winning last season's Champions League.

Awful news, a Football fans worst nightmare in fact.

Well done Fifa for giving them a sniff of the action with the 2022 World Cup vote. They'll be squirming at the sight of this which will be comical I suppose.

DFL plans to hold the tournament not only in Qatar but in six cities across the Gulf, with venues in Bahrain, the United Arab Emirates and possibly Saudi Arabia.

Who wouldn't want to spend their summer traveling around Saudi Arabia and Bahrain to watch United
