   During a press conference yesterday at the Saudi Arabian Football Federation headquarters in Riyadh, project team member Abdulelah Al-Nujaimi, speaking on behalf of the team, highlighted the project's main pillars, methodology, and the standards approved by the general assembly clubs. He also praised the strong cooperation demonstrated by the clubs throughout the various stages of the project.
   Al-Nujaimi revealed that the project was built on eight main pillars, including support from the wise Saudi leadership, the stages of development in Saudi football, organizing bodies, national teams, clubs and competitions, international impact, social and economic influence, and women’s football. He added that the project's work followed four defined mechanisms, which involved data collection from sources, review and verification, data analysis and correlation, and benchmarking.
