The initiative aligns with Vision 2030’s objectives of diversifying the kingdom’s economy and entertainment sector.

Under Jameel’s leadership, the company has expanded its motorsport activities to include the Saudi Toyota Championship and Rally Jameel, with the latter breaking new ground by welcoming international women participants in its upcoming third edition.
