Kuwait’s junior padel team secured second place at the Asian Junior Padel Championship, which concluded today in Jakarta, Indonesia, after losing 2-1 to Iran in the final match.
Kuwait delivered a standout campaign in the tournament, reaching the final after defeating Kazakhstan 2-1 in the semifinals. In the earlier stages, Kuwait won both the under-14 and under-18 categories 2-0 each, while losing the under-16 category by the same scoreline.
Wael Al-Qatami, chairman of the Kuwaiti Padel Club, told KUNA that Kuwait’s progression to advanced stages, competing for titles, and reaching the final reflect the development of padel in Kuwait, particularly across age groups, as well as the efforts made to prepare and qualify players for regional and continental competitions. He emphasized the importance of international participation in gaining experience, refining promising talents, and strengthening Kuwait’s presence at international sporting events.
He noted that Kuwait’s junior padel team is distinguished and has a strong presence at the Gulf level, having previously won the inaugural edition of the Gulf Junior Cup held in Doha, Qatar, in 2025.
