FIA, the Paris-based international sanctioning organization, has signed a multi-year agreement with Extreme H to deliver the world's first hydrogen-powered World Cup event.

The FIA Extreme H World Cup, which will this year be hosted in Saudi Arabia, will use fuel cell technology to demonstrate the viability of hydrogen as a clean energy source, according to series officials.

Every team in the World Cup will field a male and female driver. This reinforces both the FIA and Extreme H's commitment to promote a level playing field in motor sport, opening doors for more women to compete at the highest level and helping to shape the next generation of drivers and fans, series officials said.
