KUWAIT CITY, Oct 22: The Appeals Committee of the Kuwait Football Association (KFA) has rejected Al-Qadisiya’s request to overturn the sanctions imposed by the Disciplinary Committee on September 29. The penalties followed incidents during the fourth-round Zain Premier League match between Kuwait and Al-Qadisiya on September 26.

The Appeals Committee upheld the original decision, which included:

Sheikh Fahad Talal, Vice President of Al-Qadsia, was fined KD 10,000 and banned from attending matches, entering the stadium, and accessing the locker room for three years.

Abdullah Al-Ansari, Media Coordinator: suspended for three years from matches, stadium access, and locker room entry, with a KD 5,000 fine.

Coach Nabil Maaloul: banned from the stadium and locker room for four Zain League matches and fined KD 3,000.

Board Member Mohammed Reda Marafi: barred from entering stadiums for one year.

Player Abdulaziz Wadi and administrators Faisal Hussein and Fahad Al-Kandari: suspended for four Zain League matches each, with KD 1,000 fines per individual.

Club restrictions: no one is allowed in the main stand at home matches for four Zain League games, and the club fined KD 10,000.

The decision reinforces the KFA’s commitment to maintaining discipline and fair play in the league.
