Al Hammadi to offer AC Milan’s sports rehab services in Riyadh

Saudi Arabian healthcare group Al Hammadi Holding has secured the rights to develop medical and rehabilitation services in the country with experts from Italian football club AC Milan.

The exclusive rights cost SAR55 million ($15 million) and extend until 2033, the company said in a statement to the Saudi bourse on Thursday. 

The agreement will focus on developing collaboration in medical, rehabilitative and performance-related areas between the club’s health experts and Al Hammadi hospitals in Riyadh.

The Saudi company expects the move to strengthen its clinical capabilities and support the development of specialised rehabilitation in the kingdom, the statement said.

The transaction is expected to help Al Hammadi’s profitability in 2026 and beyond. 

In December 2025, AC Milan and SportPlex, Jeddah’s largest indoor multi-sport facility, announced the opening of an AC Milan Academy.

AC Milan also has a sponsorship deal with Dubai-based airline Emirates.

In December 2022, Reuters reported that Bahrain’s Investcorp and US fund Elliott had ended talks to buy AC Milan.
