Saudi Arabia’s Ministry of Sport announced Wednesday that NEOM has been named as the main partner of the Spanish Super Cup, while the Red Sea Development Company will be the main tournament sponsor.

The event will take place in Riyadh during the period between January 12 and 16.

The four teams competing in the event are Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid, Barcelona and Athletic Bilbao according to the golden square system.

The knockout matches will be held on Jan 12 and 13, and the final match will take place on Jan 16.

The Kingdom first hosted the event in Jeddah. Real Madrid won the first staging of the competition in January 2020, which ended with Los Blancos winning on penalties in the final against city rivals Atletico.

Riyadh’s hosting of the Spanish Super Cup comes as part of the initiative to establish and host international sporting events, which fall under the "Quality of Life" program of the Kingdom's Vision 2030.

The Saudi National Center for Wildlife (NCW), in cooperation with NEOM, released 134 endangered species into NEOM Nature Reserve as part of programs for breeding and rewilding native species in their natural habitats.

NEOM Nature Reserve has received 100 Arabian oryxes, 20 Arabian gazelles, eight Nubian ibexes, and six Idmi gazelles to enhance previous releases, enrich biodiversity, and restore ecological systems within the Kingdom's natural environments.

NCW CEO Dr. Mohammed Ali Qurban explained that this move is part of a series of releases conducted by NCW in various nature reserves. He emphasized that the release into NEOM Nature Reserve reflects the strong constructive cooperation and integration with partners in the wildlife sector.

Qurban stated that the center is committed to breeding and reintroducing endangered species into their natural habitats based on the highest global standards and practices.

He underscored the ongoing efforts to protect ecosystems, restore biodiversity, and enhance environmental balance to meet national objectives.

The NCW currently operates specialized facilities that rank among the leading global centers for breeding and reintroducing endangered species according to the highest standards, he added.

This release into NEOM Nature Reserve reinforces Saudi Arabia's efforts to protect endangered species and restore their roles in the natural environment, boosting the appeal of nature reserves and national parks to promote eco-tourism, with a focus on building a sustainable future for coming generations.
