The Saudi Weightlifting Federation was founded in 1980 (1400 AH) and oversees the sport of weightlifting across all its categories and its male and female athletes in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The federation is keen to widen participation in this sport, to support it to the greatest extent possible, and to achieve accomplishments at both the regional and international levels.
Our Vision
To raise Saudi weightlifting onto continental and world podiums, and to build a broad base of male and female athletes and clubs in every region of the Kingdom.
Our Mission
To oversee the sport of weightlifting across all its categories, to organise its competitions, to develop its male and female athletes, referees and coaches, and to represent the Kingdom in international arenas. The federation supports more than 36 teams and clubs across the Kingdom’s regions.
Women’s Committee
The federation’s Women’s Committee includes Dr. Mashael Houbani and is concerned with developing women’s participation in weightlifting. International referee Reem Ahmed Hazazi is the first Saudi female referee in the sport.
