MANAMA, Aug 5: Kuwait basketball team player Hussein Ashkanani has expressed deep gratitude to Sheikh Isa bin Ali Al Khalifa, Vice President of the Bahrain Olympic Committee, for generously covering the cost of his recent surgery in Bahrain.

Ashkanani sustained a severe shoulder dislocation during Kuwait’s match against Egypt in the Arab Basketball Championship, which concluded last week in Manama. The injury required immediate surgery, which Sheikh Isa fully sponsored as a gesture of hospitality and care for Bahrain’s tournament guests.

In appreciation, Ashkanani presented a commemorative shield to Sheikh Isa in a special ceremony attended by Kuwait Basketball Federation President Dhari Al-Barjas, team delegation head Owaid Al-Enezi, and team manager Mohammed Al-Hassawi.
