How sporting events are being impacted by Middle East conflict

The Saudi Pro League has, for the most part, managed to carry on as usual.

Several domestic ⁠league games had to be postponed, including three fixtures last month as the situation escalated.

The games were moved in the immediate aftermath of the attack on a major airport in Riyadh - though the SPL said they were switched "as a result of mandatory minimum rest periods between matches and to accommodate logistical requirements".

Following the postponement of the Asian Cup, this weekend's full round of Saudi Pro League has been called off.

The league once again has not attributed this to conflict in the region, instead saying the calendar would be recalibrated after the cancellation of the Asian Cup to achieve "a more balanced distribution of fixtures".
