Al-Mas’ad: No links to elections, focus on challenges
Abdulaziz Al-Masayed, the Undersecretary of the Ministry of Sports for Sports and Youth Affairs, spoke about the financial and administrative solutions concerning the boards of directors of sports clubs. He indicated that dissolving these boards depends on specific regulations and is carried out according to established protocols. He also mentioned that the responsibilities for financial oversight and sustainability were transferred to the Professional League Association two years ago, in collaboration to find solutions for the financial challenges faced by clubs, including Al-Ettifaq Club. Furthermore, he emphasized that the ministry has no direct influence over the elections of the Saudi Football Federation's board of directors and considers itself an independent entity. He noted that the sports sector experienced significant development in 2026, with the number of employees in clubs reaching 11,115, of whom 73% are Saudis, including 622 Saudi female employees. Additionally, over 585 million riyals have been allocated to support and develop the sector—438 million for the unified points system, 48 million for sports incentives, and 99 million for increasing spectator attendance.
