Our ambassador to Qatar: Gulf championships are a crucial step to elevate Kuwaiti sports and achieve accomplishments

Kuwait’s Ambassador to Qatar, Ahmed Al-Sharim, affirmed that the participation of Kuwaiti national teams and squads in Gulf championships would elevate the name of Kuwaiti sports, showcase the country’s rich sporting heritage, and lead to further achievements.

This was stated in a statement issued by the Kuwaiti Embassy in Doha on Sunday, following Ambassador Al-Sharim’s visit to the training camp of the Kuwaiti national football team on Saturday evening. The camp is currently held in the Qatari capital to ensure the readiness of “Al-Azraq” (The Blues) for the 27th Arabian Gulf Cup, which will be hosted by the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia starting September 23. The ambassador was accompanied on the visit by Diplomatic Attaché Ahmed Al-Haroun.

Ambassador Al-Sharim said that the Kuwaiti national team possesses outstanding players capable of delivering positive results in the 27th Arabian Gulf Cup, particularly since “Al-Azraq” leads the tournament’s historical record with ten titles.

Ambassador Al-Sharim was received by Ayman Al-Husseini, Vice President of the Kuwait Football Association for Technical Affairs. During the visit, he met with members of the technical and administrative staff as well as players of “Al-Azraq,” wishing them success in the upcoming Gulf tournament and reaffirming the embassy’s support and backing for the national team.

The visit aligns with the Kuwaiti Embassy’s commitment to supporting Kuwaitis across various fields and strengthening ties with national delegations and teams.

It is worth noting that the 27th edition of the Arabian Gulf Cup will be hosted in the Saudi city of Jeddah from September 23 to October 6.
