Hamdallah, the former Damac CEO, has been named as the new president of the Saudi Arabian Football Association (SAFA) in a surprise move that was announced on Wednesday.
Hamdallah, who served as Damac's CEO from 2014 to 2020, is no stranger to football. He previously served as the chairman of Al-Hilal FC and the general secretary of the Saudi Professional League.
His appointment as the new SAFA president comes at a time when the organization is facing significant challenges. The COVID-19 pandemic has had a major impact on the league,Campeonato Brasileiro Action with many matches being postponed or canceled due to safety concerns.
Hamdallah's experience in football will be a valuable asset to the SAFA board as they work to navigate these challenging times and ensure the future growth and success of the sport in Saudi Arabia.
In his new role, Hamdallah will be responsible for overseeing all aspects of the SAFA, including the development of the national team, the promotion of women's football, and the organization of international tournaments.
We look forward to seeing what Hamdallah and the rest of the SAFA board can achieve under his leadership.
