    Stadium LLC to Train Thousands of Saudis on Event Management, Safety Protocols

    (MENAFN) Qatar-based Stadium LLC, a subsidiary of UK firm Stadium, has signed a memorandum of understanding with Saudi Excellence Co. to provide training on event management and safety protocols at a new academy in Saudi Arabia. The deal comes as the Kingdom seeks to boost its entertainment and live events sector as part of the Vision 2030 initiative to diversify the economy and reduce its reliance on oil revenues.

    Stadium LLC played a key role in last year's FIFA World Cup in Qatar, providing training to some 8,500 operatives and helping to keep a cumulative 3.4 million spectators safe across eight venues during the tournament. The company's expertise in event management and safety protocols will now be shared with thousands of Saudis through the new academy.

    David McAtamney, owner and founder of Stadium, expressed excitement about the agreement, stating that it will play a key role in propelling sport and expanding industry in Saudi Arabia. He noted that Saudi Arabia has a population of more than 35 million, with over two-thirds of those under the age of 35. Growing the security and events management industry in the country and creating jobs is key to unlocking its sporting potential.

    Saudi Excellence Co., led by Sheikh Abdullah Zaid Al-Meleihi, is part of the Al-Ramez International Group and is one of the leading security and defense companies in the region, providing services to the Saudi government. The partnership with Stadium LLC will help to enhance the company's capabilities in event management and safety protocols, allowing it to better serve the growing entertainment and live events sector in Saudi Arabia.

    The training provided by Stadium LLC will help to ensure that events in Saudi Arabia are safe and well-managed, contributing to the growth and success of the country's entertainment industry. As part of the Vision 2030 initiative, the Kingdom is investing in the development of its entertainment sector, with the goal of becoming a regional hub for entertainment and tourism. The partnership between Stadium LLC and Saudi Excellence Co. is a significant step towards achieving this goal.
