Moreover, he underscored the groundswell of support the team has gotten from the Kuwaiti leadership, who provided them with the chance to showcase their athletic prowess.

Meanwhile, coach of the Kuwaiti national team Ali Falah told KUNA that the team has done the nation proud, as he described a rabid Kuwaiti fan base who further motivated the athletes to rise to the occasion.

Falah also added that the team’s performance left many of the spectators in awe, which proves that the sports scene in Kuwait has risen exponentially.
