The Jockey Club of Saudi Arabia announced on 18 August 2026 the appointment of Faisal Al-Atawi as its official spokesperson, in a move aimed at strengthening the club's media presence at home and abroad.
In his new role, Al-Atawi will handle official communication with the media and the public, covering the club's activities, races, and announcements. The appointment forms part of a wider strategy to raise the club's profile locally and internationally.
For now, official information and updates from the Jockey Club of Saudi Arabia continue to be shared through its official website, press releases issued via Saudi state communication channels, and the club's official social media accounts.
What it means for the community
As of August 2026, there are no published changes to ticketing fees, licensing fees, or race participation charges connected to the appointment. Likewise, no new validity periods, procedural steps, or fee schedules for the club's services have been officially tied to it.
Contacting the spokesperson or accessing club updates does not require any government e-services platform; all communication is handled directly through the Jockey Club of Saudi Arabia's own official channels. For fans and residents who follow horse racing in the Kingdom, the appointment signals a clearer, more organised point of contact for official news going forward.
