Inside the Saudi sporting revolution

The Sports Desk

Available for over a year

Whether it鈥檚 the Saudi Pro League's 拢750m spending spree, the unopposed bid for the 2034 men鈥檚 World Cup or the growing influence in golf, tennis, boxing and F1, the scale of Saudi Arabia鈥檚 sporting ambitions seem boundless. But the more money that鈥檚 spent, the greater the concerns over human rights, the environment and the very integrity of sport. 91福利社 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
