Kuwait Club seeks clean sweep as Al-Arabi hopes to end trophy drought in Amir Cup final
KUWAIT CITY, June 12: Kuwait Club and Al-Arabi have intensified their preparations ahead of their much-anticipated Amir Cup final, scheduled for Monday at 7:15 pm at Jaber Al-Ahmad International Stadium. Both clubs finalized their squads following the return of their international players. Kuwait SC's delegation returned from Seoul after concluding their campaign in the 2026 World Cup Asian qualifiers, while Al-Arabi welcomed back its national team stars as well. Kuwait Club players returning: Saud Al-Hoshan, Fahad Al-Hajri, Ahmed Al-Dhafiri, Ahmed Al-Zanki, Youssef Nasser, Mohammed Daham, Reda Hani, Mishari Ghannam. Al-Arabi players returning: Suleiman Abdul Ghafoor, Abdul Wahab Al-Awadhi Hassan Hamdan, Mohammed Al-Nassar, Hussein Ashkanani, Youssef Majed. Uncertainty surrounds the participation of Youssef Nasser and Hassan Hamdan in the final. Nasser suffered an injury during Kuwait's recent match against South Korea and did not complete the game, while Hamdan was sidelined entirely. Kuwait Club is chasing a historic domestic quadruple, having already secured the Zain Premier League, Crown Prince Cup, and Super Cup this season. A win in the Amir Cup final would cap off a dominant campaign. Al-Arabi, on the other hand, is aiming for redemption after finishing as runner-up in both the league and the Crown Prince Cup. Despite the setbacks, the club recently made a notable jump of 57 spots in the IFFHS global club rankings, now sitting at 411th worldwide and leading all Kuwaiti clubs. The team also made a deep run in the Asian Challenge League, bowing out in the semifinals to Tajikistan's Arkadag.

Qadsia appoints Maaloul as coach for the season
KUWAIT CITY, June 12: Al-Qadsiya Club has officially appointed Tunisian coach Nabil Maaloul to lead the first team for the 2025-2026 season, succeeding Montenegrin coach Zeljko Petrovic, who leaves after a disappointing campaign without silverware. Petrovic, who was signed last September to replace national coach Mohammed Al-Mashaan, following a mutual termination in August, failed to meet the club's expectations. Under his leadership, Qadsia: Lost the Super Cup final, exited the Crown Prince Cup in the semi-finals, finished third in the Zain Premier League, and settled for runner-up in the Gulf Champions League, following a 2-1 defeat to Iraq's Duhok in the second leg after a 1-1 draw in the first. Maaloul is set to begin his tenure in July, during which he will meet with club officials to lay out a comprehensive preparation plan for the new season and assess the squad's requirements. A seasoned tactician born in 1962, Maaloul brings with him a wealth of experience. His coaching résumé includes stints with Kuwait SC, Esperance de Tunis, Al-Jaish SC, Al-Duhail SC, USM Alger, and the national teams of Tunisia, Kuwait, and Syria. He is believed to have the backing of former club president Sheikh Talal Al-Fahad and will reportedly be granted full authority over the technical staff and foreign player selection, including decisions on contract renewals and releases. The current foreign lineup at Qadsia includes: Daniel Jibola (Nigeria), Mohamed Soula (Libya) Mehdi Berhama and Ismail Khafi (Morocco), Hussein Dhiri (Algeria) – whose contract was recently terminated. Both the Qadsia board and the club's passionate fanbase are placing high hopes on Maaloul to usher in a new era of success. The Yellows have endured a challenging spell in recent years, securing only five trophies in the last decade, including: Kuwait League title (2015-2016) Crown Prince Cup (2017-2018), Super Cup (2018, 2019), Amir's Cup (last season) With a legacy of success and a fresh mandate, Maaloul now faces the task of restoring Qadsia's place at the summit of Kuwaiti football.
