Jeddah is fully prepared to greet spectators with its well-equipped fan zone, featuring large screens, a stage, and various team and event activities to entertain the anticipated crowds. With a youthful population and a strong passion for top-notch sporting events, Jeddah's free-to-enter fan zone offers something for everyone, inspiring Saudi boys and girls of all ages to engage in the sport of sailing.
