Al-Nasr welcomes Al-Enezi duo
Meanwhile, the volleyball team, led by director Mohammed Al-Mutairi, recently welcomed Sultan Ahmed and Nasser Shuwaiker to represent the "Sons of Al-Julaib" in forthcoming competitions. The team is coached by Montenegrin Darko, assisted by Khaled Al-Saifan, and is currently seeking two additional professional players to complete the roster.
Last season marked Al-Nasr's debut in the league under Tunisian coach Niaz Salam, with the team achieving an impressive second-place finish in the First Division League. This success is credited to the club's management, technical and administrative staff, and dedicated players.
Al-Nasr Volleyball Manager Mohammed Al-Daihani expressed deep gratitude to the club's management, especially board member Khaled Al-Ardi, for their strong support and efforts in overcoming challenges facing the team. He emphasized that the new season promises even stronger performances as Al-Nasr aims to compete for the First Division League title.
Preparations will intensify starting mid-July with player gatherings, followed by a two-week training camp in Cairo scheduled for early August.

Goal blitz sends Al-Arabi flying into the Asian Challenge League group stage
MALE, Aug 12: Al-Arabi secured its spot in the group stage of the Asian Challenge League after a convincing 4-0 victory over Maldives' Mazia Sports in a playoff match at the National Stadium in Malé. The goals came from Emmanuel Ewala (3'), Julien Ngoyi (41'), Christopher John (55'), and Hussein Ashkanani (88'). Al-Arabi joins Kuwait Club in the tournament, which kicks off in October, with the group stage draw scheduled for August 28. Coach Marco Alves fielded a starting lineup featuring Suleiman Abdulghafour in goal; defenders Juma Aboud, Mohammed Khalid, Abdulwahab Al-Awadi, and Ali Abdulrasool; midfielders Hamad Al-Harbi, Ali Aziz, and Frenchman Hassimi Fadiga; and attackers Nigerian Emmanuel Ewala, Christopher John, and Belgian Julien Ngoyi. From the opening whistle, Al-Arabi dominated, pressing for an early goal and mixing attacks on both wings with crosses. Emmanuel Ewala opened the scoring in the 3rd minute after receiving a pass from John and firing a precise shot into the top corner. Mazia had a chance to equalize shortly after but missed a one-on-one opportunity, with Abdulghafour making a crucial save to force a corner. Al-Arabi maintained control, creating multiple chances. Ngoyi extended the lead in the 41st minute, converting a cross from Fadiga just before halftime. In the second half, Al-Arabi continued its pressure, and Christopher John scored a powerful strike in the 55th minute to make it 3-0. Substitute Hussein Ashkanani capped the win with a late goal in the 88th minute, sealing the 4-0 victory as the team looks ahead to the next stage.

Al-Fahaheel calls for an investigation into the handball association violations
KUWAIT CITY, Aug 12: Al-Fahaheel Club has requested the establishment of an investigative committee to probe violations by certain members of the Handball Federation's Board of Directors, according to the club's official letter No. (14848-2025) sent to the Director General of the Public Authority for Sports last Sunday. The letter highlighted clear breaches by some federation members of the handball statutes, including holding meetings without the presence of the president or vice president, and continuing to issue and circulate invalid circulars and decisions. This demand followed a letter dated August 6 from the Deputy Director General of the Public Authority for Sports for Competitive Sports Sector, Bashar Abdullah, which referenced a legal opinion from the Fatwa and Legislation Department. The opinion declared all meetings held without the president or vice president as invalid, along with all decisions issued in those meetings, due to their conflict with the federation's statute. On the same day, Al-Arabi Club sent letter No. 568-2025 to the Handball Federation, urging it to stop issuing and publishing invalid circulars and decisions that result in financial losses and constitute criminal offenses under Law No. 1 of 1993 regarding the protection of public funds. Al-Arabi firmly rejected any violations of the federation's statutes or unilateral decision-making, condemning the blatant infringement on the powers of federation president Fouad Al-Balushi. The club also reserved the right to take legal action against anyone found to have breached laws and regulations. Meanwhile, the Kuwaiti junior handball team secured its first victory in the consolation stage, known as the 'President's Cup,' at the 11th Under-19 World Championship currently underway in Cairo, Egypt. Matches are being held at Dr. Hassan Mostafa Hall through August 16. The team defeated Morocco 34-25. Earlier, Kuwait lost all its matches in the preliminary round (Group A) of the tournament and was defeated by Kosovo in the President's Cup.
