Participants will gather at Misk City for WFS Riyadh, the platform that aims to connect Saudi Arabia’s leading football officials and figures directly with high-profile individuals and companies from the global industry.

It will be the second year in row that the event will be held in the Saudi capital, with the World Football Summit Asia having also been hosted by Jeddah in late 2023.

Football is Saudi Arabia’s most popular sport, and as part of Vision 2030 the game has become a driver of social and economic development, particularly with the 2034 FIFA World Cup set to take place across 15 stadiums in the Kingdom.
