Surj are owned by PIF (the people who own Newcastle). PIF are “controlled” by the “Government” of Saudi Arabia. The wealth fund is controlled by Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman. He’s the de facto ruler of Saudi Arabia.
Surj “invested” in dazn so that the money could be passed to fifa to save the club World Cup when they couldn’t raise the sponsorship or get a broadcast partner willing to pay what they needed. In return, Saudi Arabia got awarded the World Cup, and a chance to show the world what a great guy Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman is.
So, yes, it’s a minority stake. But it’s certainly not silent.
