One of the fastest-growing sports media projects in the GCC, KHK Sports said the partnership will provide Bahraini youth work opportunities through KHK Sports internships.

 

It is driven by a vision and passion for the development of sports that has been built on a foundation that athletes can rely upon in the Middle East.
