ISSA has desire to grow its international audience
Organisers of the Islamic Solidarity Games, a quadrennial event with 57 nations competing in multiple sports, have left the door open for British athletes to take part in future saying such a prospect would be “interesting to see”.
The latest edition of the Games is set to take place in Riyadh this November, and under the Saudi sports minister as president of governing body the Islamic Solidarity Sports Association (ISSA), there is a desire to grow its international audience, which could involve inviting new countries to take part.
