Our national senior football team secured a 3-0 victory over Syria in a friendly match held at the Friendship and Peace Stadium in Kazma Club, as part of both sides’ preparations for upcoming fixtures during the FIFA international break. Kuwait dominated the contest, with their players missing several clear scoring opportunities. The Blue’s opener came from a magical touch by attacking star Shuaib Al-Khaldi, who guided Abdulwahab Al-Awadi’s cross into the Syrian net. Eid Al-Rashidi doubled the lead with a finish from Abdullah Al-Qarzawi’s pass, and Abdulaziz Naji sealed the three-goal win. The national team will face Honduras in their second friendly of the current training camp next Tuesday.
