With regard to what is reported by the General Sports Authority, Saudi Arabia from next year will allow women to participate in sporting events in three selected stadiums for the first time.
From what the Saudi State News Agency said late yesterday, the stadiums in Jeddah, Dammam and Riyadh are preparing to welcome families since the beginning of 2018.
This epoch-making decision by the Saudi government reaches one month away from another major announcement, namely the permission given to women, to be made by June next, to be able to drive, a ban that has remained around the world only in Saudi Arabia.
Prince Mohammed bin Salman's 2030 reform program aims to open up lifestyles linked to a strict and conservative version of Sunni Islam that limits the role of women.
