KUWAIT CITY, July 10: The dispute between Al-Arabi Club and its player Hassan Hamdan has escalated after the 24-year-old international forward reportedly signed an agreement to join Al-Ahli Jordan for the new season. In response, Al-Arabi’s board of directors announced they have filed an official complaint with the Public Prosecution accusing Hamdan of forgery, fraud, and deception.
Al-Arabi asserts that Hamdan remains under a valid five-year contract with the club. Meanwhile, Al-Ahli Jordan requested its international transfer certificate from FIFA, which was granted via the Kuwaiti Football Association by official regulations.
The club warned that this "escalation" could severely jeopardize Hamdan’s professional career.
In a statement issued recently, Al-Arabi emphasized its commitment to protecting the club’s legacy and its loyal fan base. The club stated, “Our silence throughout this period was not due to weakness or fear, but to avoid unnecessary disputes that harm Kuwaiti sport. However, following the serious false accusations aimed at tarnishing our reputation, we are compelled to take legal action to defend the club’s name and dignity.”
The statement continued, “We have officially filed a complaint with the Public Prosecution against the player, supported by a signed contract bearing his handwriting, signature, and fingerprint, which will be presented as evidence.”
Al-Arabi stressed that it will hold accountable anyone involved in damaging the club, declaring, “Al-Arabi is more than a sports club—it is an institution built on education, ethics, and values. We will continue to safeguard it against all attempts to distort its image.”
