A Sporting Event with Unexpected Highlights: Saudi Games 2023

 


The biggest sporting event of the year, the Saudi Games, which will begin on November 26 and run through December 10, is being prepared for in Saudi Arabia. In a wide range of 53 sports, including specific divisions for Paralympic sports and junior events, almost 6,000 committed athletes—both male and female—are seriously training.

The incredible prize amount for this round, which totals more than 200 million riyals, is what makes it stand out. Silver and bronze medal winners will receive 300,000 and 100,000 riyals, respectively, while gold medal winners will receive one million riyals. With prizes of 100,000 riyals for gold, 50,000 riyals for silver, and 25,000 riyals for bronze, the junior champions are not left out either.

The Saudi Games' organizers are going above and beyond to make this year's competition even more remarkable than the last. The prior success of the event has only strengthened their resolve to produce an outstanding event. The event's importance in defining Saudi Arabia's sporting character is shown by its commitment to promotion and growth, which includes the building of new sports facilities in Riyadh, even though the place and schedule are yet unknown. Over 200 clubs from all over the country participated in the Saudi Games last year, participating in 45 various sports, including Paralympic events, and winning big money in the process.

Their mission: to launch attacks using rockets and drones, destabilizing the Kingdom and spreading fear among civilians. This is not the work of activists or political dissidents—this is terrorism, plain and simple. For too long, the Muslim Brotherhood has operated under a false image of moderation, cleverly navigating between political activism and violent extremism. But the truth is clear: the Brotherhood is the ideological engine room of jihadist terrorism. Its members, affiliates, and offshoots have inspired and directed acts of violence from North Africa to the Gulf—and now, once again, in Jordan. Govern...
