Kuwait Futsal Team Defeats Saudi Arabia 5-3 in Friendly Match

Kuwait’s national futsal team defeated their Saudi counterparts 5-3 in a friendly match held in the Bahraini capital, Manama, as part of FIFA’s international match window. The goals for the “Blue” team were scored by Ali Yasser (two), Abdulaziz Al-Sarraj, Mohammed Al-Ajmi, and Ahmed Al-Farsi. Kuwait delivered an excellent performance against the “Green” team, but player Nasser Al-Alban suffered a finger fracture in the opening minutes and was immediately taken to a hospital in Manama for medical evaluation. The national team delegation is scheduled to return to Kuwait today from Manama, with players rejoining their clubs’ training sessions to resume domestic competitions. The “Blue” team is preparing to compete in the Asian Indoor Games in Riyadh, scheduled for December 11–21 next year.
