Saudi Arabia, sports capital 2025
Saudi Arabia has positioned itself as the ideal destination for tourists and sports lovers by 2025 thanks to the heavy investments made by the Saudi administration in recent years. The entertainment is total. From motor sports to adventure sports, Saudi Arabia seeks to attract all kinds of sports fans.
With a large investment in infrastructure, the Arab country has hosted sporting events of all kinds, making it the ideal destination for sports tourism in 2025, thanks to the connectivity between hotels and sports venues, the low prices and the endless leisure options available in the country's main cities such as Riyadh, Jeddah and Medina.
With this combination of luxury, adrenaline and culture, Saudi Arabia has put together a calendar of world-class events that has started with the celebration of the Dakar Rally, a competition that has been taking place in the country's desert since 2020. In addition to the Rally, the country will host the Jeda Formula 1 Grand Prix for the fifth time between 18 and 20 April, on the fastest circuit in the championship.
However, Saudi Arabia's great triumph began with the signing of Jon Rahm, as the main star of the PFI Saudi International tournament, who enjoys one of the best contracts in the world of sport today; and has been consolidated with the great signings of the Saudi Pro-League football league, such as Cristiano Ronaldo, Benzema, or Neymar Jr; and the announcement of the 2034 FIFA World Cup.
Saudi Arabia also hosts the Spanish and Italian Super Cup finals and the ATP Next Gen Padel finals, in which the best up-and-coming under-21 players compete.
Other sporting activities that Saudi institutions have set their sights on are hiking along the Edge of the World, a cliff over 100 kilometres long and 1,100 metres high that represents a real challenge for athletes.
Other sports include diving in the coral reefs of the Red Sea and paragliding over the hills of the south-western Asir region. Finally, the Kingdom will host the fifth Al Ula Cycling Tour and the Saudi Horse Cup, considered the richest race in the world.
