Translated by Qiyas from النهار — Original source
Al-Qadsia will face a friendly match against the English club Salzburg at 6:30 PM today at the Mohammed Al-Hamad Stadium, as part of their preparations for upcoming fixtures. The team is managed by national coach Ibrahim Mohamed, who aims to leverage this experience to assess his players’ readiness and trial several squad members, given the absence of several key players who have joined the national team for the Gulf Cup 27 tournament in Saudi Arabia.
The clash with Salzburg is part of the English club’s tour of the Gulf region, scheduled from September 27 to October 1, following official approvals from both the English and Kuwaiti Football Associations. Salzburg competes in the English National League South, the sixth tier of English football. The club came under the ownership of Kuwaiti investor Ali Al-Hamad in 2025, marking the entry of a new Kuwaiti management team focused on developing the club and enhancing its sporting and commercial presence.
Meanwhile, Al-Qadsia currently sits third in the Premier League with six points from three matches, having defeated Fehaheel 2-1 and Al-Nasr 3-0, while suffering a single 0-1 loss to Al-Kuwait.
