Organisers say the January race will be held "in a different territory", with a new venue to be named in the "coming days" and a return to Saudi Arabia planned for 2028.
The Dakar Rally will not be held in Saudi Arabia for its 2027 edition, organisers said, citing "recent developments in the region". The Amaury Sport Organisation and Saudi Motorsport Company said the January race will take place "in a different territory", with the location to be announced in the "coming days".
Return to Saudi Arabia planned for 2028
The two organisations said in a Sunday statement that the rally would return to Saudi Arabia in 2028, when organisers intend to mark the event's 50th edition. Saudi Arabia has hosted the Dakar since 2020. Reports in specialist race media said a move to Morocco or Spain is being considered; a Morocco venue would make it the first Dakar held in Africa since 2007.
A series of events moved or cancelled
The Dakar relocation is the latest in a series of sports events moved out of Saudi Arabia this year over the US-Israel war on Iran and deadly attacks by Yemen's Houthis on the kingdom. This season's Formula One grand prix in Jeddah was cancelled, and the final round of the World Rally Championship in Saudi Arabia next month has been scrapped. An exhibition tennis tournament featuring Novak Djokovic, Carlos Alcaraz and Alexander Zverev has been postponed until late December, and the WTA Finals will be held at Indian Wells, California, instead of Riyadh.
Airport attacks ended hopes of keeping the race
Organisers had hoped to keep the 2027 race in Saudi Arabia by working on a new route in the northern part of the country. But the latest strikes, including a series of attacks on King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh this month that killed 18 people and injured hundreds more, made that impossible. Fighting between government forces and Houthi fighters has intensified across multiple fronts in Yemen in recent weeks.
