Khalid Al-Ghamdi Officially Runs for Saudi Football Federation Presidency

Khalid Al-Ghamdi has officially submitted his candidacy for the presidency of the Saudi Football Federation, beginning his competition for the position following the resignation of Yasser Al-Mashel in the upcoming elections.

The Saudi sports community is eagerly anticipating the upcoming phase, as preparations begin for the elections that will determine the identity of the new president of the federation and its board for the forthcoming period.

The relevant authorities are expected to finalize the electoral process soon. This will precede the announcement of the final list of candidates competing for the leadership of Saudi football.
