RIYADH, December 16 (Saudi Arabia Breaking News) – The Saudi Falcons Club announced the introduction of two competition rounds for Mongolian falcons within the Al-Malwah (400-metre lure) race at the King Abdulaziz Falconry Festival 2025.
The festival will be held from December 25, 2025, to January 10, 2026, at the club’s headquarters in Malham, north of Riyadh.
The two rounds reflect the festival’s expansion and diversification of competition categories. A total of SAR 337,000 has been allocated in prize money for the Mongolian falcon round, to be distributed among the top ten finishers, with the winner receiving SAR 120,000.
An additional round, titled the “Nova Falcons” Mongolian Falcon Round, has also been introduced, bringing together elite Mongolian falcons. This round offers total prize money of SAR 550,000, with SAR 300,000 awarded to first place, SAR 150,000 to second place, and SAR 100,000 to third place.
The festival stipulated that participating Mongolian falcons must have been purchased at the Saudi International Falcons and Hunting Exhibition 2025, held in October, which for the first time featured a dedicated Mongolian falcon zone. The exhibition offered 50 Mongolian falcons for sale through a live auction held over ten days.
Mongolian falcons are highly regarded among falconers for their large size, long wingspan, endurance, and hunting capabilities, as well as their ability to withstand harsh climatic conditions and respond effectively to training.
The King Abdulaziz Falconry Festival is the largest gathering of falcons in the world and serves as an international destination for competition. The festival includes the Al-Malwah and Mazayin competitions, with total prizes amounting to approximately SAR 38 million, attracting local and international falconers.
