Features of the new structure

According to the circulated details, Prince Alwaleed bin Talal is expected to assume the position of Chairman of the Club's Board of Directors following the official completion of the deal.

The plan also includes the creation of the position of "Managing Director" to directly oversee the workflow within the club, as part of organizing the new administrative structure.
