RIYADH — Saudi Minister of Sports and President of the Saudi Olympic and Paralympic Committee (SOPC) Prince Abdulaziz bin Turki Al-Faisal received International Olympic Committee (IOC) President Thomas Bach in Riyadh on Saturday. Bach arrived in Riyadh on his fourth official visit to Saudi Arabia since his election in 2013.

The visit underscores the strong partnership between the IOC and Saudi Arabia, particularly under Saudi Vision 2030, which has positioned the Kingdom as a global sports hub. This partnership includes hosting major events, such as the inaugural Olympic Esports Games, which were announced last year.
