Inside the Saudi sporting revolution
Manage episode 388329837 series 2943541
Whether it’s the Saudi Pro League's £750m spending spree, the unopposed bid for the 2034 men’s World Cup or the growing influence in golf, tennis, boxing and F1, the scale of Saudi Arabia’s sporting ambitions seem boundless.
But the more money that’s spent, the greater the concerns over human rights, the environment and the very integrity of sport.
BBC sports editor Dan Roan has been to Saudi Arabia to interview Saudi sports minister Prince Abdulaziz bin Turki Al Faisal and several other key figures in Saudi sport.
We also hear from Amnesty International and tennis great Martina Navratilova.
Panel: Sarah Mulkerrins, Dan Roan, Ian Herbert, Mohamed Qoutb
Producer: Sam Sheringham
