Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman Al Saud has launched a project to invest and privatize sports clubs to achieve the goals of the Saudi Vision 2030 in the sports sector, which aims to create a viable sports sector.
At this stage, the project includes two main areas, the first of which is the approval of investments by large companies and development agencies in sports clubs in exchange for transferring ownership of the clubs to them, and the second is the offer of a number of sports clubs for privatization starting from the last quarter of 2023.
