Saudi club penalties now include relegation and 8M riyal fines
The Saudi Pro League Committee has revised the club licensing regulations with the aim of imposing stricter penalties. These include automatic relegation to a lower division after repeated violations three times, as well as immediate fines for clubs upon their first infraction, with fines reaching up to 8 million Riyals in case of repeated violations. The new regulations focus on strengthening standards for administrative and organizational performance, expanding the main criteria to seven areas including development, sustainability, and marketing. Clubs are also now required to provide proof of no outstanding debts up to the end of the previous year. Additionally, the licensing officer’s role has been elevated to a mandatory category, with strict conditions imposed to prevent role overlaps and thorough inspections of stadiums before licenses are granted to ensure safety. The regulations also organize the privileges of clubs participating in Asian tournaments. A final deadline of November 30 has been set for submitting the requirements, aimed at enhancing transparency and the sustainable institutional performance of Saudi clubs.
