Al-Azraq Al-Qadama concludes preparations for Saudi Arabia clash

The Kuwait veterans’ national football team will conclude its training sessions today in the Qatari capital, Doha, in preparation for tomorrow’s Friday match against Saudi Arabia at the Saud bin Abdulrahman Stadium. The fixture is part of the first round of Group A in the Gulf Cup for veteran players.

The Blue delegation, led by former Kuwait national team and Al-Jahra Club star Wael Sulaiman, departed the country yesterday afternoon for Qatar to participate in the tournament.

Onad told “Al-Jarida” that the technical staff took age and physical fitness into account when selecting the squad, noting that several players had withdrawn due to various circumstances, including Hamad Al-Saleh, Khaled Khalaf, Nasser Al-Omran, Hamad Al-Anzi, and Saleh Al-Sheikh, with ongoing efforts to join him with the delegation in Qatar.

Onad emphasized that the tournament is being held in a fraternal atmosphere and offers a wonderful opportunity for veteran players from across the Gulf region to reunite, adding that the Blue team will compete with the aim of challenging for the title.
