The Jockey Club of Saudi Arabia has moved to strengthen its communication with the media and the wider public, appointing Faisal Al-Atawi as its spokesperson in August 2026 to lead public engagement and media relations.
As part of the drive, the club relies on its official digital and social-media channels to share race updates, event details, and behind-the-scenes content with followers, keeping fans informed throughout the season.
Members of the media can now apply online for accreditation to cover two of the Kingdom's marquee events: the Riyadh Racing Season 2026/27 and the Saudi Cup 2027. Accredited journalists and photographers receive English-language notifications, access to online press conferences, race replays, and complimentary photos and videos.
Why it matters
The enhanced outreach reflects the growing profile of equestrian sport in Saudi Arabia and aims to make coverage of major races more accessible to both local and international media. For residents and fans in Riyadh and beyond, it promises clearer, more timely information about the racing calendar and flagship events.
The available information does not specify any accreditation fee, application processing time, validity period, or required documents for the media-accreditation process. Those interested in covering the events are advised to apply through the club's official channels.
