Kuwait's Ambassador to Qatar: Gulf championships are an important milestone for raising Kuwaiti sports' name and achieving 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 help achieve further accomplishments.

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

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

Ambassador Al-Sharim was received by Ayman Al-Husseini, Deputy Chairman 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 competition and reaffirming the embassy’s support and backing for the national team.

The visit aligns with the Kuwaiti Embassy in Qatar’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 Gulf Cup of Nations will be hosted by the city of Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, from September 23 to October 6.
