KUWAIT CITY, Aug 31: Al-Sulaibikhat’s first handball team will travel to Doha for an overseas training camp from September 18 to October 1 as part of preparations for the conclusion of the 2025-26 season and the start of the 2026-27 campaign.

The team is scheduled to play around four friendly matches against leading Qatari league clubs during the camp. The games will provide valuable preparation for the players while allowing the technical staff to assess their physical and tactical readiness ahead of the upcoming commitments.

Club board member Ibrahim Dashti will head the delegation, which includes first-team manager Hussein Siawan, administrator Dawoud Dashti, head coach Hussein Habib, assistant coaches Naseer Hassan and Nabil Taleb, and goalkeeper coach Ahmed Radwan.

The 20-player squad features French professional Nicolas Clair and Brazilians Pigi and Jovan, alongside Ahmed Al-Farhan, Hussein Karam, Nael Al-Abdullah, Bandar Al-Dhafiri, Jarrah Al-Saleh, Mahmoud Ali, Ibrahim Dhaif, Othman Dhaif, Fahad Abdulhadi, Nasser Al-Faraj, Ahmed Al-Qattan, Abdullah Hamad, Abdulaziz Al-Najjar, Hussein Charkhi, Faisal Al-Anzi, Hassan Ayman and Abdullah Jamal.

Abdulaziz Dhaif will not join the delegation because of his commitments with the Kuwait national senior team, while Obeid Al-Shammari will miss the camp due to work-related commitments.

The coaching and administrative staff are looking to make the most of the Doha camp by intensifying training and arranging competitive friendlies. The objective is to build greater team cohesion, raise fitness levels, and ensure the squad is fully prepared for the challenges ahead.
