Project idea

‏The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is undergoing very significant development in the field of sports in general and in football in particular through the support of the Saudi government to the sports sector. At the same time, Saudi Arabia lacks with rehabilitation centres that serve players with injuries that need a long period of treatment and rehabilitation, and therefore most of the injured players in Saudi competitions going to abroad for treatment and rehabilitation because of the weakness of local capabilities. The Sports Rehabilitation Complex project is one of the proposed solutions to strengthen and develop the Saudi sports infrastructure, which will attract local and international investments and enable Saudi Arabia to compete locally, regionally and internationally and reach it among the leading countries in the field of sports. In addition the project is not limited to the medical side, it also provides a suitable sporting environment for clubs and national teams whether inside or outside the Kingdom to set up camps before or in the middle of the sports season. Also the project includes support component such as administration and areas designed for rehabilitation of players. The project serves only men with an average age of 20 to 34 years, which is the life span for players to practice the various sports.
