"Jabo" completes Al-Qadsiah's professional squad

Notably, “Al-Abyad,” under the guidance of veteran coach Mohammed Ibrahim, opted not to sign a foreign defender, relying instead on the local players already available in that position.

Kuwait concluded its training camp in the capital yesterday, which lasted 24 days and included four friendly matches. The final friendly was against Peterborough United, who compete in England’s EFL League One, ending in a 2-1 defeat for Kuwait, with Youssef Nasser scoring their only goal.

Prior to that, “Al-Abyad” played four friendlies in London, losing 1-0 to Milton Keynes Dons and 2-0 to Portsmouth, while defeating Barnet 3-2. They also played a closed-door match against Brighton & Hove Albion, who compete in the English Premier League.

The defending champions of the Zenith Pro League, who have won the title in the last five seasons, are now beginning their final preparations in the country ahead of a tough opening fixture against their city rivals, Al-Arabi, on August 25 or 26.
