Kuwait’s ambassador to Qatar, Ahmed Al-Sharim, affirmed that the participation of Kuwaiti national teams and squads in Gulf tournaments would elevate the name of Kuwaiti sports, showcase the country’s rich sporting heritage, and help achieve further successes.

This was stated in a statement issued by the Kuwaiti Embassy in Doha on Sunday, during Ambassador Al-Sharim’s visit to the training camp of the Kuwaiti national football team on Saturday evening. The camp is currently held in the Qatari capital to ensure the “Blue Team’s” readiness for the 27th Arabian Gulf Cup (Gulf 27), which will be hosted by Saudi Arabia starting September 23. The diplomatic attaché, Ahmed Al-Haroun, accompanied the ambassador on the visit.

Ambassador Al-Sharim said that the Kuwaiti national team possesses outstanding players capable of delivering positive results in Gulf 27, especially since the “Blue Team” leads the historical record of this Gulf tournament with ten titles.

The ambassador was received by Ayman Al-Husseini, Vice President of the Kuwait Football Association’s Board of Directors for Technical Affairs. During the visit, he met with members of the technical and administrative staff and the players of the “Blue Team,” wishing them success and achievement in the Gulf competition and reaffirming the embassy’s support and backing for the national team.

The visit comes as part of the Kuwaiti Embassy in Qatar’s commitment to supporting Kuwaitis across various fields and strengthening ties with national delegations and teams.

It is worth noting that the 27th edition of the Arabian Gulf Cup will be hosted in the Saudi city of Jeddah from September 23 to October 6.
