Shaden A. Nahari

Women's Football Manager and Legal Compliance

Shaden A. Nahari manages women's football and legal compliance at NEOM SC, the club promoted to the Saudi Pro League and one of several Saudi clubs now fielding a women's side alongside the men's first team. The combined brief sits where sport and regulation meet: player registration and contracts, licensing requirements set by the federation and the league, and the operational build-out of a women's programme that in Saudi Arabia is still assembling its structures season by season. The Saudi Women's Premier League launched in 2022, obliging clubs to build complete women's programmes, from recruitment and contracts to coaching and facilities, in a short span of time.
