With the issuance of Royal Decree A/298 on October 26, 1438 H, which established the Saudi Falcons Club under the patronage of Crown Prince and Prime Minister His Royal Highness Prince Mohammed bin Salman bin Abdulaziz, our efforts were finally realised. Interior Minister His Royal Highness Prince Abdulaziz bin Saud bin Nayef bin Abdulaziz chairs the club's board of directors. We have committed ourselves to upholding this honourable heritage since the beginning. We bring falconers together, develop their talents, and create the perfect setting for engaging in this traditional sport through a variety of events, competitions, and programs, such as auctions, exhibitions, festivals, and tournaments. Our objective is to raise awareness of falconry, nurture talent, and make sure that the following generation continues this age-old tradition, protecting an important aspect of our culture for years to come. By raising falconry breeding and care standards to international norms, we hope to make falconry a valuable cultural and economic resource, support environmental preservation, celebrate falconry's history, preserve it for future generations, and fortify the country's sense of identity.
