In June 2010, Sheikh Abdullah bought Málaga CF from Lorenzo Sanz, whose son Fernando Sanz[2] and president of the club at the time, controlled with total management the acquisition. The reported price was €36 million.[3] In February 2020, a Spanish judge ruled that he was to be excluded from management and control of the club, citing irregularities.[4] The court case is ongoing as of October 2022.
Sheikh Abdullah has been quoted as saying, in anticipation of the 2022 FIFA World Cup to be held in Qatar, he had hoped to have European clubs branch into the Arabian Gulf market. He is currently a member of the board of directors of Qatar Equestrian Federation.[5]
