The beIN Media Group and its sports channel beIN SPORTS is the official broadcaster of the FIFA World Cup; this year hosted in Qatar in November 2022. To aid the distribution of its content, beIN has now entered a strategic partnership with social media powerhouse Twitter, which will see beIN providing exclusive content from the upcoming event.

beIN SPORTS will share and highlight important match moments throughout the event, giving brands more sponsorship opportunities through Twitter Amplify. The partnership will see 320 videos distributed, with highlights, analysis, and a summary of the important events from each match being shared through the @beINSPORTS Twitter account.

“We have seen a 74% increase in the monthly average volume of football content circulation among the platform’s users compared to the past 12 months. For example, Saudi Arabia alone recorded over 53 million tweets about football so far this year,” says Kinda Ibrahim, Twitter Head of Media Partnerships for the Middle East, Africa, & Turkey.

BeIN SPORTS is the region’s largest broadcaster, and fans will be treated to real-time coverage that will help to contribute to the atmosphere of this exciting event.

Rabbit Expands Hyperlocal Delivery Service In Saudi Arabia

Rabbit, an Egyptian-born hyperlocal e-commerce startup, is expanding into the Saudi Arabian market, setting its sights on delivering 20 million items across major cities by 2026.

The company, founded in 2021, is already operational in the Kingdom, with its regional headquarters now open in Riyadh and an established network of strategically located fulfillment centers — commonly known as “dark stores” — across the capital.

The timing is strategic: Saudi Arabia’s online grocery transactions currently sit at 1.3%, notably behind the UAE (5.3%) and the United States (4.8%). With the Kingdom’s food and grocery market estimated at $60 billion, even a modest increase in online adoption could create a multi-billion-dollar opportunity.

Rabbit also sees a clear alignment between its business goals and Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030, which aims to boost retail sector innovation, support small and medium-sized enterprises, attract foreign investment, and develop a robust digital economy.

The company’s e-commerce model is based on speed and efficiency. Delivery of anything from groceries and snacks to cosmetics and household staples is promised in 20 minutes or less, facilitated by a tightly optimized logistics system — a crucial component in a sector where profit margins and delivery expectations are razor-thin.

Despite the challenges, Rabbit has already found its stride in Egypt. In just over three years, the app has been used by 1.4 million customers to deliver more than 40 million items. Revenue has surged, growing more than eightfold in the past two years alone.

CEO and Co-Founder Ahmad Yousry commented: “We are delighted to announce Rabbit’s expansion into the Kingdom. We pride ourselves on being a hyperlocal company, bringing our bleeding-edge tech and experience to transform the grocery shopping experience for Saudi households, and delivering the best products – especially local favorites, in just 20 minutes”.

The company’s growth strategy avoids the pitfalls of over-reliance on aggressive discounting. Instead, Rabbit leans on operational efficiency, customer retention, and smart scaling. The approach is paying off, having already attracted major investment from the likes of Lorax Capital Partners, Global Ventures, Raed Ventures, and Beltone Venture Capital, alongside earlier investors such as Global Founders Capital, Goodwater Capital, and Hub71.
