Atos expands engagement at World Football Summit in Riyadh

Atos described expanded engagement in Saudi Arabia at the World Football Summit in Riyadh and linked that activity to support for Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030.

At the summit, Atos participated as a Corporate Partner with support from AWS and Paragon Global Brand and took part as a panel contributor while exhibiting as a premium exhibitor. The company also referenced its post-2023 expansion in Riyadh and the presence of a Sports Technology Centre of Excellence alongside a dedicated sports division for Major Events.

Atos cited more than 30 years of work in sports and major events technology and noted its role as Official IT Partner of UEFA National Team Football since 2022, which supported UEFA EURO 2024™, the UEFA Nations League Finals™ 2025 and the UEFA Under-21 Championship 2025. The company said it expanded in South America as CONMEBOL’s first official partner for club competitions and developed digital platforms for CONMEBOL Libertadores and CONMEBOL Sudamericana. Atos also stated it had supported the Olympic Movement since 1992 and the Paralympic Movement since 2002 and delivered IT services for the Olympic and Paralympic Games Paris 2024.

The company described work for other events, including its role as Official Digital Partner for Special Olympics International at the Special Olympics Torino Winter Games 2025 and the Invictus Games Vancouver Whistler 2025. It also managed two Power-Aware Resource Allocator (PARA) sports competitions nearly simultaneously: the World PARA Swimming Championships in Singapore and the World PARA Athletics Championships in New Delhi.

“As we return to the World Football Summit, Atos is proud to reaffirm and strengthen its commitment to Saudi Arabia’s sports ecosystem. Together with partners AWS and Paragon, we aim to bring world-class technology and innovation to the Kingdom, helping realize the full potential of sports.
