Al-Hilal came top of the list of private sports clubs after falling into the category with a full support of 7 million riyals.
The Sports Club Support Strategy Team at the Ministry of Sport has announced the classification of clubs to levels (A-B-C-D) for private and public sports clubs. 14 clubs from the Roshn League have succeeded in obtaining financial support while 4 clubs, Al-Fatah, Abha and Taai, damac have failed.
Al-Hilal and Al-Shabaab led Roshin League clubs in the amount of financial support, each receiving SAR 7 million, the full value of the support after the first achieved 12 indicators out of 14 and the second 8 out of 9, knowing that the evaluation varies according to the quality of the club if it is private or general.
Al-Nassr finished second in the list of the most subsidized Roshn League clubs worth SAR 5,175, although he achieved 12 indicators from 14, his failure to move for a higher class reduced his financial support.
The shock was in Jeddah, where the Al-litthad received only SAR 4.5 million, despite achieving 12 indicators out of 14, because it did not move to a higher category, while al-Ahli was the least supported, securing partial support of SAR 2,875 million, with only 9 indicators out of 14.
One of the general sports clubs in the Roshn League is the Al-shabab Club, with a total support of 7 million riyals.
The Ministry of Sport indicated that the value of the subsidy had been devalued, due to the lack of movement to a higher category.
The eligibility indicators and criteria for financial support included: “Strategy and leadership, management and operation, commitment, control and control, financial management, marketing activities and events”.
