The decision gave more freedom to Saudi women, who are subject to strict gender segregation rules, after the historic lifting of a female driving ban in September.<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n
\n

\n\tSaudi Arabia said it would allow women to attend matches in sports stadiums from next year, euronew.com reported.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe announcement was made in a statement by the General Sports Authority, the country\u2019s governing body for sports, yesterday (October 30).<\/p>\n

\n\tIt said that the previously male-only venues of King Fahd Stadium in Riyadh, King Abdullah Sports City in Jeddah, and Prince Mohammed Bin Fahd Stadium in Dammam would begin preparations to \u2018accommodate families\u2019.<\/p>\n

\n\tMore information about seating arrangements inside the stadiums has not yet been released; Saudi men and women are generally seated separately when both genders attend an event.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe decision gave more freedom to Saudi women, who are subject to strict gender segregation rules, after the historic lifting of a female driving ban in September 2017.<\/p>\n

\n\tCrown Prince Mohammed bin Salman is leading a bid to modernize Saudi society and improve the economy.<\/p>\n

\n\tHe said last Wednesday that the return of a \u2018moderate Islam\u2019 was integral to his plans.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
