The International University Sport Federation has named Saudi Arabia’s student ambassador for sports to be the country’s first female fencer.
Ruba Mohammed Al-Masri’s selection to the position is a testament to the Kingdom’s recent efforts to empower female athletes.
The goal of the FISU Student Ambassador program is to assist athletic volunteer programs in the home countries of ambassadors and to foster the growth of collegiate sports.
“I consider this historic achievement for Saudi sports as a true turning point,” Al-Masri said. It makes me feel honored and proud. This triumph is not merely a personal achievement; rather, it is a testament to the enormous efforts the Kingdom is making to empower young people and promote women’s sports. It is a dream come true and provides opportunities for future talent to see a Saudi girl succeed on the global stage.
The ambassador of Saudi Arabia to the United States, Princess Reema bint Bandar, cited Al-Masri’s accomplishment as evidence of the Kingdom’s commitment to promoting women in sports.
