White and Yellow face Al-Arabi and Kazma in 'Al-Tayyara'

Kuwait begins its campaign against Al-Arabi at 5:00 PM today in the second round of the final stage of the 2025-2026 Kuwaiti Volleyball Premier League, which resumed from last season. Al-Qadsia also plays today, facing Kazma at 7:00 PM. Both matches will be held at the Union Hall in the Sheikh Saeed Al-Abdullah Indoor Sports Complex.

Five clubs are participating in the final stage, which is played in a single-round league format. The top four teams will advance to the semi-finals, where the first-placed team will face the fourth, and the runner-up (second place) will meet the third-placed team. The two winners will progress to the final.

Al-Qadsia and Kazma currently lead the standings, each with three points after winning their opening-round matches against Al-Arabi and Salibikhaet (who have zero points), respectively. Al-Arabi will play their first match today.

In the first match, Kuwait appears better positioned to secure a victory over Al-Arabi, who failed to perform at the required level against Al-Qadsia in the previous round. In the second match, Al-Qadsia seeks revenge against the “Orange” side (Kazma), having defeated them 3-0 in their first encounter after the league’s resumption, which took place in the preliminary stage and where Kazma delivered a notable performance, demonstrating their serious intent to compete for the title.

Kazma is managed by Brazilian coach Anderson de Oliveira, who relies on his Brazilian professional player Lilson Costa and Colombian international Juan Felipe.

For his part, Al-Qadsia aims to secure a victory and reaffirm their competitiveness under the leadership of their new Argentine coach, Humberto Alejandro.
