KUWAIT CITY, June 18: Kuwait Club has officially renewed the contracts of veteran midfielder Ahmed Al-Dhafiri and standout goalkeeper Saud Al-Hoshan, though the club has not disclosed the duration or financial terms of the agreements. Al-Dhafiri, 33, has been a consistent performer for the "Whites" since joining from Al-Qadsiya three seasons ago. His experience and leadership played a crucial role in the Kuwait Club's historic treble in the 2024–2025 season, which included the Super Cup, Zain Premier League title, and the Crown Prince Cup. He also helped the team reach the final of the Amir Cup, which was postponed due to the current regional circumstances. Previously, Al-Dhafiri enjoyed a long stint with Al-Qadsiya from 2013 to 2022, including a loan move to Saudi Arabia's Al-Qadsiya in 2017. On the international stage, he has earned 63 caps with the Kuwait national team, scoring three goals. Throughout his club career, Al-Dhafiri contributed to multiple championship victories.

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.
