Saudi football federation finalizes candidates list for board election
Saudi Football Federation’s election committee approves final list of candidates for board president and members after appeals process concludes.
The Saudi Football Federation's election committee has finalized the list of candidates for the upcoming board election, marking the conclusion of the appeals and application process. Following the announcement of the preliminary candidate list on August 8, the committee accepted all submitted appeals procedurally, but rejected them on their merits.
The final list, which includes candidates for the position of president and board members, was subsequently shared with the 25 eligible clubs for their consideration. No candidate withdrew from the race during this period. The Saudi Sports Arbitration Center's review of the appeals found no procedural issues, although the substance of the appeals led to their rejection.
The committee's verification process confirmed that all candidates met the required qualifications. An extraordinary general assembly of the Saudi Football Federation is set to convene on Sunday, August 30, in Riyadh to deliberate on the final candidate list.
