Prince Khalid bin Sultan Abdullah Al-Faisal, chairman of the Saudi Arabian Motor Federation (SAMF), announced the launch of eight new programs focused on “social aspects” and tourism.
Addressing a recent press conference at the King Abdullah Sports City in Jeddah, Prince Khalid highlighted the important role of the General Sports Authority (GSA) in supporting the federation’s programs.
The GSA is headed by Chairman Turki bin Abdulmohsen Al-Sheikh and Vice President Prince Abdulaziz Turki Al-Faisal.
Prince Khalid said the SAMF has set out an ambitious plan to implement programs in line with the Kingdom’s Vision 2030.
“We are in a society dominated by youth — about 65 percent — and they have a great passion for cars, yet we still don’t have integrated and associated programs,” he said.
SAMF Deputy President Abdullah bin Salem Bakhashab said that the upcoming motorsport season will include five championships.
