Kazma Defeats Al Qadsia in Volleyball

Kazma secured a well-deserved 3-0 victory over Qadsia in the rescheduled match of the preliminary round of the volleyball league, which resumed from last season’s competition. Meanwhile, Al-Nasr defeated Al-Sahel 3-2 in the same round. With these results, the preliminary stage of the tournament, which had been suspended since February last year due to regional security incidents, is concluded. The federation decided to complete the preliminary phase before the start of the new season.

The final round will begin tomorrow, featuring five teams—Kuwait, Kazma, Qadsia, Al-Arabi, and Salwa—competing in a single round-robin format. The top four teams will advance to the semifinals, with the first-place team facing the fourth, and the second facing the third. The two semifinal winners will meet in the final on November 12.

Al-Nasr, recently returned from an external training camp in Cairo, started the match strongly, imposing their dominance and winning the first set 25-12. Qadsia attempted a comeback in the second set and took an early lead, but Kazma fought back to clinch the set 25-23 in a tight contest. Kazma then capitalized on their superiority, maintaining their momentum to win the third set 25-20, securing a deserved victory.

In the second match, excitement was palpable between Al-Nasr and Al-Sahel due to the closely matched levels of play. Al-Nasr won the first set 25-16, but Al-Sahel equalized by taking the second set 25-22. Al-Nasr regained the lead with a 25-20 win in the third set, only for Al-Sahel to level the match again by winning the fourth set 25-20. The teams were forced into a deciding fifth set, which Al-Nasr narrowly won 15-13.
