Al-Farraj added: “The upcoming AFC Champions League, Saudi channels have lost their rights, and also the World Cup qualifiers do not own them, and the question that arises in the Saudi sports visual memory is when will it be documented.”

Walid Al-Farraj continued: “We are working on a project to develop the league and the teams, and the best stars in the world and international tournaments will be brought into the Kingdom, but this footage will be watched by the neighbors.”

The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is scheduled to host the 2027 Asian Nations Cup, and it is also expected to announce that the 2034 World Cup will be assigned to the Kingdom.
