⚽ The best team in the land and all the world? 🏆 The FIFA Club World Cup kicks off today, with Saudi champions Al Ittihad opening the tournament taking place in their home city of Jeddah. In the UK, the competition isn't usually given too much attention, perhaps because there is, at most, one English club competing, or perhaps because it takes place in the middle of what many fans here consider their bread and butter - the league season. That being said, I'm quite looking forward to this year's edition. Now, this is probably helped by the fact that my club is competing for the first time, with the chance to add another new trophy to the cabinet, and that I'll be doing some work on tournament-related content. More than that, however, it's a great chance to watch teams we very rarely get to see in action, with lesser-known players and, perhaps, interesting or unusual playing styles. As is often the case, the European Champions, Manchester City, will be fairly strong favourites to lift the trophy, but (unfortunately) their form has been a bit shaky of late. Meanwhile, the Saudi side have added some genuinely huge talents to their squad, which could see them go a long way. With seven games over the next ten days, it'll certainly make for entertaining viewing alongside the regular league and European fixtures. Will you be watching? What are you most looking forward to about the tournament? #LITranslators #Football #Translation

Good article on how Saudi is reshaping the sport industry (Spanish read). https://lnkd.in/ghkZVqYK We initiated one of the first bold Saudi global sporting move with LaLiga in 2017. I did not have doubt back in October 2017 when I met His Excellency, I have less doubt now in 2024. #KSA #limitless #sportindustry #laliga #sportsbusiness

Success after success. Next order is in progress.

Slowly but surely, Saudi Arabia has become the new home of major sporting events. From Formula 1 to Boxing, the Ultimate Fighting Championship arrives in March, WWE hosts a PPV here and has for years, the Dakar Rally and the upcoming bid for the 2034 FIFA World Cup among plenty of others. The budgets and drive to put on world class sporting events are endless. And to prove my point, look no further than Fury vs. Ngannou from Saturday night. They're trending towards $125M in PPV revenue plus approximately $12M in ticket sales - a record for both fighters and a set of numbers that KSA will continue to try and replicate repeatedly. These types of events will continue to drive tourism, diversify the Saudi economy and allow the Kingdom to be a hotbed for advertisers who want to be seen by a lot of people with a bit of cash surrounding major sporting events all at the same time. #saudiarabia #advertising #sports #vision2030 #programmatic

hosting

Saudi Arabia to host FIFA World Cup 2034 - Following an earnest submission of an ‘expression of interest’ to host the tournament, Saudi Arabia can be the only country after Qatar to host the FIFA World Cup in the Middle East. As the host country, Saudi needs to meet the following infrastructure requirements:  - 14 all-seater stadiums with 40,000 - 80,000 seats (at least 7 of them should pre-exist) - Opening and final match in an 80,000-seats stadium - Semi final match in a 60,000-seats stadium - 4 venue-centric training sites per stadium - Minimum 72 base camps 2 referee base camps Mexico, United States and Canada nailed the bid to co-host FIFA World Cup 2026. For FIFA 2030, tri-continental partnership between Spain, Portugal, and Morocco and FIFA 2034, Saudi Arabia are a safe bet. Following a thorough scrutiny of multiple factors, the hosts will be announced close to next year's end. #BigHit #Sports #Football #FIFA #FIFAWorldCup #SaudiArabia

Turki Alalshikh Saudi Arabia 🇸🇦 Wealth fund Public Investment Fund (PIF) is looking to buy out Matchroom Boxing, Golden Boy Promotions and Queensberry Promotions potentially for 4-5 billion dollars to create a #super #promotion that could rival the way the Ultimate Fighting Championship functions. If they were able to attain Top Rank Boxing and PBC, this would be the closest thing to #UFC in boxing where the best are forced to fight the best. This would bring boxing back to the glory days and revolutionise #boxing on a whole different level. But something needs to be done about the atmosphere we can't be having that all the time over and over again 😂. If it does happen then BYE BYE to sanctioning bodies. ❤️🥊👻 https://lnkd.in/eiDewdhz (Ghost Sports Agency Linktr.ee) https://lnkd.in/e_UudkDn (WhatsApp channel) https://lnkd.in/eUaXyWf5 (Black Tiger Digital Marketing website) #GhostSportsAgency #CombatSports #ManagementCompany #CombatSportsManagement #FightersUnite #FightForGlory #TheUltimateAgency

Soft power can shape narratives globally. Hollywood, the EPL & K-pop are just the most powerful examples. Taking cricket global & owning the halo effect will create a sea of opportunities in India on a scale that is amplified beyond the ‘home’ market of 1.4 billion. #sports #sportstech #india #saudiarabia #cricket Saudi Arabia Eyes Stake in $30 Billion Indian Cricket League https://lnkd.in/encBxeU3
