Saudi Awwal Bank (SAB), one of the leading banks in Saudi Arabia, has signed SR2 billion credit facility agreement with the Saudi Binladin Group, a subsidiary of Binladin International Holding Group, to finance the development of King Fahd Sports City in Riyadh.
The agreement was formalized during an official signing ceremony held at SAB Tower in Riyadh. The event underscored the strategic importance of this collaboration in delivering large-scale infrastructure aligned with national goals.
The partnership aims to enhance the Binladin Group’s financial capacity to execute major projects that meet international standards. It also reflects SAB’s commitment to supporting the Kingdom’s construction sector and contributing to Vision 2030 by financing transformative development initiatives.
Saudi Awwal Bank is one of the largest banks in the Kingdom and traces its origins in Saudi Arabia to more than 90 years, during which time it has been an active partner supporting the Kingdom’s economic growth and social development.
