The Saudi Sports for All Federation (SFA) has signed a Memorandum of  Understanding (MoU) with the Arab Open University (AOU) in Riyadh to implement sports programmes and promote a sports culture in the kingdom. 
 
The MoU will further see the two entities work together to promote community sports and build a healthy lifestyle among university students. 
 
The MoU was signed in the presence of Prince Khaled bin Alwaleed bin Talal Al Saud, President of the Saudi Sports for All Federation, and Dr Ali bin Mohammed Al-Shahrani, Rector of the Arab Open University.

We will also cooperate with the university in the fields of research, studies, data, and statistics to enhance our objective of attracting a large number of university students to participate in sports and physical activities. This will help achieve our strategic objectives."
