Obsessed with Saudi Women’s Football? You’re not alone! ⚽

According to FOOTBALLCO’s report published in April (deffo worth sharing again) titled ‘For Women’s Football in Saudi Arabia…The Time is Now!’, football is officially the #1 women’s sport in the Kingdom.

61% of Saudis who follow women’s sports are all about football, watching international tournaments, catching events on TV, or engaging on social media - well above the 47% global average.

Saudi Arabia also made it easier than ever to catch the action by launching its 24-hour women’s sports channel, SSC AWSN, showcasing weekly Saudi Women’s Premier League matches and giving the players major global visibility.
