What Riyada (Sport) is for

"Riyada" (رياضة) is the Arabic word for "sport." The question that comes up when traditional and popular Arab sports get specific — how does camel racing actually work, did it really switch to robot jockeys, which Arab country hosted the World Cup, what is dhow racing, what is tahtib — answered from one hand-curated reference, without a scroll through inconsistent blog posts or fan forums.

What it does

A description, history and basic format for six traditional and heritage sports — camel racing, horse racing heritage, dhow/traditional sailing racing, falconry as a sport, Sudanese Nuba wrestling, and the Egyptian tahtib stick game (traditional_sport_info); search across sports, glossary terms and football-culture country notes by keyword (sport_search); a deep dive on camel racing's history, race format, and the well-documented shift since the mid-2000s to remote-controlled robot jockeys, which replaced human child jockeys (camel_racing_guide); a brief overview of Arabian-horse racing heritage and modern Gulf thoroughbred racing (horse_racing_heritage_info); factual notes on football's popularity, league names and club/fan culture by country, without ranking any club or team (football_culture_info); factual Arab hosting and participation history in the FIFA World Cup, AFC Asian Cup, FIFA Arab Cup and Africa Cup of Nations, framed neutrally (major_tournament_history_info); traditional Gulf dhow sailing racing, including the annual Al Gaffal race (dhow_racing_guide); a factual, non-editorializing note on the region's growth in hosting major recurring sports events — Formula 1, horse racing, tennis (modern_sports_landscape_info); and a glossary of sport-specific terms — hijin, midmar, furusiyya, robot jockey, mazayin, and more (sport_glossary).

What it is not

Not a live scores or fixtures service, a betting or odds tool, or a ranking of any team, club, player or nation — football_culture_info and major_tournament_history_info state hosting and participation facts neutrally and never declare a "best" team or country. Falconry is covered here only briefly, as a sport, by design — see the dedicated turath connector for falconry's full heritage treatment (UNESCO listing, history, equipment terms). Horse racing heritage is likewise covered only briefly — the planned ansab connector will treat Arabian-horse breed and heritage content in depth. All content is a hand-curated reference as of its stated build date, not a live scores feed — for anything from a current season or a very recent match or fixture, check an official source.

Tools

Traditional sports

traditional_sport_info — One traditional or heritage sport's description, history and basic format — falconry as a sport, camel racing, horse racing heritage, dhow/traditional sailing racing, Sudanese Nuba wrestling, and the Egyptian tahtib stick game. Use for "what is tahtib", "tell me about Nuba wrestling", "is falconry a sport". Args: name.

sport_search — Search traditional sports, glossary terms and football-culture country notes by partial name, alias, region or keyword. Use for "sports involving camels", "which country hosted the Asian Cup". Args: query.

dhow_racing_guide — Traditional Gulf dhow (wooden sailing boat) racing — history, race classes and courses, and the annual Al Gaffal race. Use for "what is dhow racing", "what is the Al Gaffal race".

Racing heritage

camel_racing_guide — A deep dive on camel racing: history, race format and classes, the well-documented shift since the mid-2000s to remote-controlled robot jockeys (which replaced human child jockeys), and the Gulf regions where it is practiced today. Use for "how does camel racing work", "why do camels have robot jockeys", "when did camel racing switch to robots".

horse_racing_heritage_info — A brief factual overview of Arabian-horse racing heritage — the furusiyya horsemanship tradition — and modern Gulf thoroughbred racing (Dubai's Meydan/Dubai World Cup, Saudi Arabia's Saudi Cup). The planned ansab connector will cover Arabian-horse breed and heritage content in depth. Use for "what is furusiyya", "is horse racing popular in the Gulf".

Football & tournaments

football_culture_info — Factual notes on football's (soccer's) popularity, top-league names and club/fan culture by country — league names, historical tournament hosting, and notable participation facts. Never ranks any club, team or country. Use for "what's Egypt's top football league", "is football popular in Saudi Arabia". Args: country.

major_tournament_history_info — Factual notes on Arab nations hosting and participating in major football tournaments — the FIFA World Cup (Qatar 2022, the first Arab/Middle Eastern host; Saudi Arabia confirmed for 2034), the AFC Asian Cup, the FIFA Arab Cup, and the Africa Cup of Nations — framed as neutral historical record, never as a ranking of any team or nation. Use for "which Arab country hosted the World Cup", "has Qatar hosted the Asian Cup".

Reference

modern_sports_landscape_info — A factual, non-editorializing note on the growth of sports investment and major recurring events across the Arab world — Formula 1 races, horse-racing meetings, tennis tournaments and camel festivals — naming the events without commentary on the reasons behind the investment. Use for "what major sports events does the Gulf host", "is there a Formula 1 race in Saudi Arabia".

sport_glossary — Definitions of common Arab-sports terms (hijin, midmar, meydan, furusiyya, al gaffal, robot jockey, tahtib, ultras, mazayin). Use for "what does hijin mean", "what is a robot jockey", "what does mazayin mean". Args: term.

Conventions

• Read-only. Every tool reads public data or computes; nothing is written anywhere and nothing about the user is stored.
• Result envelope. ok: true with data, or ok: false with a structured error (bad_input, not_found, upstream_error). degraded lists optional sources that were unreachable.
• Rate limits. Free tier 60 tool calls/minute and 300/day per user (keyed on the user identifier supplied by the host agent, else client IP); Pro keys raise this. Over-limit calls return HTTP 429 with Retry-After. initialize and tools/list are never counted.

Riyada (Sport) — Privacy Policy

Effective 24 September 2026. Unify Dynamics LLC ("we", "us"), Menlo Park, California.

What Riyada (Sport) is. Riyada (Sport) is a connector (an MCP server and REST API) that AI assistants and personal agents call on your behalf for a hand-curated reference on traditional and popular sports across the Arab world — traditional-sport profiles, camel-racing history and format, horse-racing heritage, football culture by country, major-tournament hosting history, dhow racing, the modern sports landscape, and a glossary. You interact with your assistant; the assistant sends us only the arguments needed for that one lookup.

What we receive. The arguments of each tool call — a sport name, a search query, a country name, or a glossary term — the technical headers needed to serve the request (an IP address or a client identifier supplied by the assistant, and a Pro API key if you have one), and standard server logs.

Everything is answered from a bundled, hand-curated reference file and nothing is stored. No request is forwarded to any third party — there is no upstream call at all, live or otherwise — and no query is logged in request bodies, recorded, or used to train anything.

What we do not receive or store. We do not receive your conversation with the assistant or your name, and we do not build a profile from your queries: each request is answered independently and nothing carries over between requests. Rate-limit counters (a client identifier and timestamps) are held in memory for at most 24 hours. Hosting-provider access logs, which contain IP addresses and request paths but not request bodies, are retained for up to 30 days for security and abuse prevention.

Sub-processors. None — the entire dataset is bundled with the server and answered locally. Hosting: Vercel (United States regions).

Legal bases and your rights. Our processing is necessary to provide the service you request through your assistant. Because we store no personal data beyond short-lived logs, requests to access, correct or delete personal data are usually satisfied automatically; you can still contact agent@connectorbay.com and we will respond within 30 days. We do not sell or share personal information and do not use your data to train models.

Children. Riyada (Sport) is a general-audience service operated by the adult using the assistant.

Changes. We will post changes here with a new effective date.

Riyada (Sport) — Terms of Service

Effective 24 September 2026. These terms govern use of the Riyada (Sport) connector ("the Service") operated by Unify Dynamics LLC ("we", "us").

1. The Service. Riyada (Sport) returns a hand-curated reference on traditional and popular sports across the Arab world — traditional-sport profiles, camel-racing history and format, horse-racing heritage, football culture by country, major-tournament hosting history, dhow racing, the modern sports landscape, and a glossary — from data cross-checked against public sports-reporting and reference sources at build time. It is accessed through an AI assistant or directly over MCP or HTTP.
2. A cultural and sports reference, not a live scores service, betting tool, or team ranking. Riyada (Sport) is an independent reference tool, not affiliated with or endorsed by any sports federation, club, league, or government it describes. It is not a live scores or fixtures feed, a betting or odds tool, or a ranking of any team, club, player or nation — hosting and participation facts are stated as neutral historical record.
3. Practices vary and evolve. Sport formats, regional attributions and customs described here reflect the commonly documented, widely recognized version of each — practice varies by country, club and era, and the Service's own data notes this where it matters rather than presenting one version as definitive.
4. Acceptable use. Automated use within the published rate limits is welcome.
5. Availability. The Service is provided "as is" without warranty. We may change, limit or discontinue it at any time.
6. Data. Our Privacy Policy describes what we process. In short: your query is answered from a bundled reference file, and nothing is stored.
7. Pro keys. Optional Pro API keys are issued at our discretion, are personal to the holder and may be revoked for abuse.
8. Liability. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Unify Dynamics LLC is not liable for any loss arising from use of or reliance on the Service. Our total liability is limited to US $100.
9. Governing law. California law; venue in San Mateo County, California.
