Arab Championship forces Kuwait Volleyball Association to revise the 2026-27 season calendar

Kuwait Volleyball Association meets clubs to discuss 2026-27 season plans.

KUWAIT CITY, Aug 5: The Kuwait Volleyball Association (KVA) has revised its competition calendar for the 2026-27 season after the Arab Volleyball Federation confirmed that the Arab Men's National Teams Championship will be staged in Bahrain from October 8 to 18.

The adjustment was made following an expanded meeting between KVA officials and representatives of participating clubs, during which the regulations, competition format, and organizational framework for the upcoming season were reviewed. The association agreed to reschedule domestic competitions to avoid a clash with the regional championship, despite having already approved the original season calendar.

The meeting was chaired by KVA Secretary-General Dhalal Al-Nimsh and attended by Competitions Committee Chairman Aref Al-Subaihi, Vice Chairman Dr. Jaber Al-Sharif, Committee Rapporteur Eng. Abdullah Al-Najdi, and representatives from the participating clubs.

Discussions focused on the competition regulations, tournament structure, and revised fixtures, while officials also outlined the technical and administrative arrangements for the new season to ensure the smooth organization of all competitions.

Club representatives were invited to present their observations and proposals on several regulatory matters, reflecting the association's commitment to working closely with clubs and developing a shared vision aimed at improving domestic volleyball competitions and ensuring a successful season.

The KVA is also considering staging a pre-season warm-up tournament before the Arab Championship to help clubs fine-tune their preparations ahead of the official start of the 2026-27 campaign.
