The Saudi Sports for All Federation

Saudi Arabia

Global Goals World Cup (GGWCUP) is coming to Saudi Arabia for the first time in partnership with the Saudi Sports for All Federation (SFA). They are changemakers in their way of recognizing the value of sports for the SDGs and access to sports for women.

Saudi Sports for All Federation (SFA) is the mandated body by the Ministry of Sports to achieve the national objective under the Quality of Life Program to increase people who are physically active from 13% to 40% by 2030 as part of the Kingdom’s 2030 vision. SFA achieves this through sustainable programs that target all segments of society with all different abilities, ages and nationalities residing in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
