Yes, community sport exists in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, which aims to inspire and promote a healthy lifestyle for all members of the community through physical activity and nutrition. It seeks to encourage regular participation in physical activity through empowerment and promotion.
The scope of community sport revolves around physical activity, whether regular or irregular, practiced consistently in a suitable environment to achieve health and social goals. Any physical activity counts as a community sport if it involves physical movement, resulting in an increased heart rate and thus leading to health benefits.
In 2019, community sport took a new turn after the Saudi Sports for All Federation was mandated to lead community sport initiatives affiliated with the Ministry of Sport within the framework of the Quality of Life Program. In 2020, a five-year strategic plan for community sport was established to advance it and provide dedicated and sustainable participation opportunities for all age groups.
