Back in 2023, PIF took charge of Al-Nassr, Al-Ittihad, Al-Ahli, and Al-Hilal.

The fund secured a 75% share in each side, leaving the Ministry of Sport with the remaining 25%.

The Saudi Pro League’s enormous spending spree was made possible by that takeover, bringing in global icons including Ronaldo, Neymar, and Karim Benzema.

According to Saudi journalist Ahmed Al-Ajlan, PIF now plans to sell full control of the clubs.

This action would also hand over the ministry’s 25% interest to private investors.

If completed, the sales could mark a turning point in Saudi Arabia’s bold football project.
