Jameel Motorsport, SAMF drive Saudi racing talent forward

As part of its commitment to nurturing sporting talent in the Kingdom, Jameel Motorsport collaborated with the Saudi Automobile and Motorcycle Federation to launch the GR Saudi Driving School Future Co-Driver Program. This initiative will discover the next generation of professional co-drivers who will partake in cross-country rallies, bolstering Saudi Arabia’s presence on the regional and international motorsports stages.

The Future Co-Driver Program took place recently in Jeddah, bringing together the chosen participants with international industry experts. Led by renowned motorsports racer Captain Abdullah Bakhashab, the program provided aspiring co-drivers with a unique opportunity to undergo rigorous training to hone their skills and prepare them for the challenges ahead.

From a pool of around 600 applicants, the top 32 individuals were handpicked from four regions: the western region, Eastern Province, northern region, and central region. This selection process ensured that only the most deserving candidates progressed to the next stage.

Prince Khalid bin Sultan Al-Abdullah Al-Faisal, chairman of the SAMF, said: “The launch of the GR Saudi Driving School Future Co-Driver Program marks a significant milestone in our efforts to empower the youth of the Kingdom. This initiative underscores our dedication to fostering a new generation of skilled professionals, equipped to navigate the challenges of the racing world with precision and proficiency. Through strategic collaboration and innovative training, we are laying the foundation for a future where Saudi talent shines on the global stage, driving our nation toward a thrilling era of success in motorsports.”

The program’s curriculum encompassed a comprehensive range of essential skills tailored to prepare participants for the dynamic role of a co-driver in motorsports. Candidates delved into the intricacies of their role, understanding the crucial responsibilities of navigating alongside the driver. They learned to read roadbooks with precision, utilize devices such as ERTF and Stella and gain valuable knowledge to navigate rulebooks effectively. Participants also learned about time management, including handling timecards and administrative tasks, as well as effective communication and collaboration techniques with drivers, fostering a cohesive team dynamic essential for success on the track.

Hassan Jameel, chairman of the board of managers of Abdul Latif Jameel Motors, said: “The GR Saudi Driving School Future Co-Driver Program marks a pivotal moment in our ongoing commitment to nurturing talent and promoting excellence and leadership in motorsports. Our collaboration with the Saudi Automobile and Motorcycle Federation focuses on cultivating promising young talents in the Kingdom, in line with Vision 2030’s Quality of Life program. By empowering aspiring co-drivers with world-class training and mentorship, this initiative not only elevates the standards of motorsports in Saudi Arabia but also paves the way for an even brighter future in the sport, fostering a culture of innovation and success.”

Upon completion of the program, all participants were awarded certificates, recognizing their dedication and accomplishment in mastering the complexities of co-driving.

With the launch of the Future Co-Driver Program, Jameel Motorsport and the SAMF are poised to inspire a new generation of motorsports enthusiasts, driving innovation and excellence across the Kingdom and beyond.

Momcozy promotes maternal health education across Kingdom

Building on its global leadership in mother-centric innovation and breastfeeding solutions, Momcozy, the “world’s No.1 wearable breast pump,” has partnered with the Mabrook Initiative, one of Saudi Arabia’s largest maternal health education programs supported by the Ministry of Health and Riyadh Health, to enhance postnatal education and breastfeeding awareness inside hospitals across the country.

As one of the primary partners of the initiative, Momcozy brings global expertise in breastfeeding education and modern maternal care — trusted by millions of mothers across more than 60 countries — to enhance the initiative’s reach and impact across the Kingdom. Operating across more than 25 public and private hospitals in key regions, including Riyadh, the western region and the Eastern Province, the program reaches 200 mothers daily, more than 6,000 mothers monthly and nearly 72,000 mothers annually, covering about 15 percent of all births in Saudi Arabia annually. 

Through the partnership, Momcozy delivers professional health education inside participating hospitals, with a strong focus on breastfeeding awareness and practical breast pump guidance. This includes providing mothers with dedicated maternity packages that support them through the first days of postpartum with greater clarity and confidence. This educational support helps mothers overcome early breastfeeding challenges, adopt comfort-led pumping practices, and improve their breastfeeding experience, while also assisting hospital teams in delivering consistent, evidence-based guidance to families.

With a multi-city reach and a nationwide educational mandate, the Mabrook Initiative is establishing one of Saudi Arabia’s most scalable maternal support ecosystems by delivering structured, evidence-based guidance directly within hospitals. As part of these efforts, Momcozy contributes to advancing Vision 2030 health goals by supporting breastfeeding awareness and providing practical, evidence-based resources that help strengthen early maternal care across participating hospitals.

Lalaina Rabary, marketing manager at Momcozy, said: “We are proud to contribute to the Mabrook Initiative and to support mothers across Saudi Arabia during such an important stage of their journey. Through our educational materials and guidance, our goal is to ensure that every mother has access to comfort, knowledge, and confidence in the first days after childbirth. This partnership reflects our long-term commitment to maternal well-being and our support for the Kingdom’s Vision 2030 and its national health priorities.”

Momcozy KSA’s popular M9, M5, and M6 wearable breast pumps, widely used across Saudi Arabia, also play a role in this mission. Designed for convenience and flexibility, these hands-free models provide comfort-driven pumping that enables mothers to breastfeed with ease at home, at work, or on the move, reflecting Momcozy’s commitment to modern, accessible breastfeeding solutions.

Momcozy joined the program from its early stages and will continue supporting the initiative throughout its current cycle, which runs until 2026. This commitment reflects the brand’s dedication to empowering mothers beyond products by actively contributing to national health goals and strengthening the ecosystem for maternal and child well-being in Saudi Arabia. As the initiative grows, Momcozy plans to further expand its contributions in alignment with the needs of participating hospitals and families across the Kingdom.
