Base yourself in Sharm el Sheikh, which is what im thinking. Cheap flights, cheap booze and cheap digs.

Are there direct flights from there?

 

[edinburgh123]

Not so,we will be made welcome if we are respectful, just don't expect Dubai.

And male
And straight

A couple a week advertised for dec, looks impossible.

 

[Any1aBlue]

Women not welcome?

Looks like direct flights from Sharm El Sheikh on Thursday and going back Saturday, but £250ish for the return with Saudia.

Looks feasible to get back for Christmas Eve

We have got one of the four Saudi super clubs in the WC. Al Ittihad.

Of course they will be. There women in Saudi. They do exist, even some expat women too. A bit of advice though, just don’t expect to wear your bikini. Respect their customs when you’re in their country and you’ll be fine. I’ve lived there with my family and had no drama.

I didn't think the fixtures had been done yet? Have they?

Sorry I meant potentially, as in they are one of the seven teams that will take part.

Could be coming up against some familiar names (Kante, Fabinho, Benzema) if we meet Al-Ittihad.

If we make the carabao cup quarter finals thus year it becomes impossible for those that do every game as the semis of this and the quarters of the carabao are a day apart

Not if you have private jet ;)

Someone else replied to this post, and turns out I was wrong. United and Liverpool can't get in, unless they win next year's CL, otherwise there's a limit of 2 teams per association.

Liverpool definitely can’t then.

Bag of shite. FIFA Charity Shield......

 

[TinFoilHat]

Lump on the home Saudi team "winning" it. Can't see FIFA and the home nation allowing a team with links to the UAE to dick their team in the final.

Like last nights trophy you could say but we've never won it so I want to go all out for it.

Notice that Pep mentions The World Club Cup every presser. He wants it.

 

[Blue Til Death]

That European trophy - doesn't half Dazzle..... it's a glittering prize!
