No surprises in the Crown Prince Cup
The preliminary round also saw the postponement of the matches between Al-Jahra and Al-Jazeera, and Al-Arabi and Al-Sahel, as well as Al-Qadisiyah and Al-Nasr, due to Al-Arabi's participation in the Asian Challenge Cup and Al-Qadisiyah's involvement in the Gulf Champions League.

In the opening match, Kuwait Club ensured that Al-Tadamon wouldn't repeat its quarter-final elimination from last season, as it delivered a dominant 5-0 win to secure its spot in the quarter-finals, awaiting the winner of the Al-Jahra vs. Al-Jazeera match.
Mohammed Daham stole the show, scoring a hat-trick with goals in the 19th, 52nd, and 77th minutes. Ahmed Al-Dhafiri added the fourth in the 80th minute, and Amr Abdel Fattah sealed the victory in the 90th minute.
In the second match, Khaitan defeated Al-Sulaibikhat on penalties after a 0-0 draw, setting up a quarter-final clash with Kazma, who had earlier defeated Al-Yarmouk.
Khaitan took the lead in the 8th minute with Khaled Shaman's goal, but Al-Yarmouk quickly responded with an equalizer. Mishaal Al-Shammari then added a second goal, and Hussein Ismail's strike in the 62nd minute gave Al-Yarmouk hope. However, Jarrah Naif's late goal in the 90+8th minute sealed the victory for Khaitan.
Finally, Al-Salmiya had a tough time before eliminating Burgan. After conceding a penalty goal in the 20th minute, Al-Salmiya equalized with a penalty from Alex Lima in the 62nd minute. The match went to extra time, where Al-Salmiya netted four more goals through Fawaz Ayed, Bader Jamal, Moaz Al-Aseema, and Mohammed Al-Huwaidi to secure their place in the next round.
