MANAMA, Dec 26: The executive office of leaders of the Gulf Olympic Committees announced on Sunday the postponement of the third Gulf Games scheduled to be hosted by Kuwait next January to May.

The Secretary of the Kuwait Olympic Committee Hussein Al-Musallam told KUNA last Friday that the expected postponement comes in response to the current critical health conditions that have arisen following the spread of the new Coronavirus variant. This also comes in accordance with the World Health Organization (WHO) instructions of postponing all activities involving crowd gatherings. This GCC tournament includes football, handball, volleyball, basketball, swimming, athletes, karate, judo, fencing, archery, tennis, cycling, ice hockey, table tennis, in addition to electronic games.
