Prince Abdulaziz bin Turki expressed his gratitude to King Salman bin Abdulaziz, and the Saudi Crown Prince for their support and attention to this vital and important sector, which has made the Kingdom a permanent home for many global sporting events, amidst the progress being witnessed by the country.

“We intend to host the exceptional edition that brings together 48 teams for the first time in the history of the tournament in one country,” Prince Abdulaziz bin Turki said.

The direct supervision of the Crown Prince on the Kingdom’s candidacy file to host this major football event reflects his keenness to move forward towards shaping the future of sports in Saudi Arabia in line with Vision 2030.
