Harburg Group has completed the acquisition of Saudi Pro League side Al-Kholood Club. It's a historic transaction, led by the Ministry of Sport in collaboration with the National Center for Privatisation.

Al-Khalood is the first club to be XXX% foreign-owned in Saudi.

🗣️ American Ben Harburg will lead the project. "Saudi is one of the highest-growth football market in the world, with world class players, robust fanbases, and it’s teams already defeating top global clubs. Our conviction is not just in one club, but in a once-in-a-generation structural shift in global football."
