A Transformative Era in Middle Eastern Sports
Since the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022, the Arab world has firmly positioned itself as a critical player in the global sports ecosystem. Countries across the region, including Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Oman, and the UAE, are leveraging sports as a cornerstone for economic diversification and cultural enrichment. With initiatives such as Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 and Oman Vision 2040, the region is poised to become a global hub for sports and entertainment.
