The tennis federation in Saudi Arabia · Saudi Tennis Federation

The Saudi Tennis Federation (STF) is the national governing body for tennis in Saudi Arabia. Tennis first appeared in the country in 1966 under a combined Saudi Tennis and Table Tennis Federation, with the sport's official launch in 1975; tennis was later split off into its own independent federation under Abdulaziz bin Saad Al Kreidis. The STF runs a national tournaments calendar, a top-players/rankings section, a nationwide list of affiliated clubs, and "Tennis for All" grassroots programmes, and its stated goals include developing training pathways from talent to elite level and hosting major international events. The site does not publish a numeric count of clubs or licensees.
