This should probably be in general or debates.
What Saudi are doing have nothing to do with sports. Ok, maybe 2% sport.
I flew into Riyadh a few years ago on a stopover, miles and miles and flat sand.
If they want Ronaldo to play there or host boxing matches, fine but a winter games will just destroy the environment.
Crazy.

All the Saudi's want is the money and publicity
@venda saidCertainly money, which they “give in spades” $$$$$$$$$$$$ to pro golfers. Think LIV.🏌️♂️🤔

@ponderable saidMay take part in Saudi Arabia. Trojena is running behind already, and there are only so many Sri Lankan semi-slave workers whose dead bodies you can throw at a project before it starts working against you.
Will take part in Saudi Arabia.
They will even built a city (Trajena).
Sounds like another marketing gag to me.

one source they give is: https://ocasia.org/news/3399-saudi-arabias-trojena-neom-city-to-host-remarkable-asian-winter-games-2029.html
and that is from the official Olympic committee of Asia website, so I assume this to be a done deal.
