Morphine Prince 109,645 Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 Starting in early 2018, women will be allowed into three arenas in major cities, according to a statement issued Sunday by the General Sport Authority, the country's governing body for sports. The previously male-only venues of King Fahd Stadium in Riyadh, King Abdullah Sport City in Jeddah, and Prince Mohammed Bin Fahd Stadium in Dammam will begin preparations to "accommodate families," the statement said. Specific seating arrangements are unclear at the moment; Saudi men and women are customarily separated in places where they are both allowed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saudi Arabia is literally next door (from the UAE) and I never knew women couldn't attend stadiums. I didn't even know y'all didn't have cinemas before But thankfully things are changing and SA is picking up pace in progressiveness. I'm looking forward to how it'll look like years from now (as well as other Arab and Mid-Eastern countries). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The cinema thing is ending too (first cinemas since the 70s are supposed to open soon). Lots of the ultra conservatives are having a meltdown, but they had the same exact reaction when phones or cameras were first introduced. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
