Newcastle United have appointed Saudi Public Investment Fund advisor and CEO of Saudi Golf Federation Majed Al Sorour as a director.
Sorour, who is also CEO of Golf Saudi and has been on the board of Riyadh football club Al-Nassr, was today registered on Newcastle's Company House filings.
The appointment comes less than 24 hours after a new green-and-white away kit was revealed for next season, which has a striking resemblance to the national team kit of the Gulf state.
Sorour is the fourth member on Newcastle's board of directors, alongside minority shareholders Amanda Staveley (centre), Jamie Reuben and Yasir Al-Rumayyan
Newcastle's crest, as well as the trim of the neck and sleeves, have been coloured green on an all-white backdrop, bearing a striking resemblance to the shirt of the Saudi national team.
