America's Cup Saudi controversy
Yachting World
|July 2023
America’s Cup organisers have announced that the second preliminary regatta for the 37th America’s Cup cycle will be held in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, from 30 November–3 December 2023
-
The announcement gives credence to the rumours that Saudi Arabia was originally in the running to be host venue for the America’s Cup itself, which were circulating before Barcelona was confirmed in March last year. At the time many Cup fans raised wide ranging concerns about the venue, varying from the probability of light winds to Saudi Arabia’s record on human rights and environmental issues.
It has been confirmed that Jeddah, a major city on the Red Sea and home to the F1 Saudi Arabian Grand Prix, will host the second Preliminary event with six teams (Defenders Emirates Team New Zealand and five challengers) racing in AC40s.
