The summit further establishes the Kingdom as a leading global destination for sports and entertainment, reflecting Saudi Arabia’s continued efforts to drive the sports industry forward.

Radisson Hotel Group’s District Director in Riyadh, Ferran Brufau, will be a featured panelist at the summit. His discussion will cover key trends and developments in sports and hospitality, including the evolution of fan experiences over the past decade, the shift from sports to “sportainment,” and the role of hotels in creating immersive experiences for fans through dedicated zones, sponsorships, and loyalty programs offering exclusive, money-cannot-buy benefits. “The hospitality industry has a pivotal role to play in enhancing fan experiences, both at the stadium and beyond,” said Ferran Brufau, District Director at Radisson Hotel Group. “By creating fan zones, offering tailored services, and collaborating with major sporting events, hotels can deliver memorable moments for fans while driving value for the sports ecosystem.”
