Sheikh Fahad Talal Al-Fahad

KUWAIT CITY, June 30:  Sheikh Fahad Talal Al-Fahad, Vice President of Al-Qadsiya Club, confirmed that the club has no intention of running for any sports federation positions solely to increase player representation.

In press statements, Sheikh Fahad voiced his opposition to reducing the number of matches played by Al-Qadsiya, stressing that the club has consistently achieved strong results across the various tournaments in which it competes.

As head of the club’s football department, Sheikh Fahad expressed his readiness to step down if Fawaz Al-Hasawi wishes to take over the management of the first team.

Al-Hasawi, speaking on the “Podcast with Mishari” hosted by former Qadsia player Mishari Jassim, revealed that he had been approached by team manager Musaed Neda to return to the club. However, he has yet to make a decision, citing concern that fans may not be patient with the team’s rebuilding process, which he estimates will take four years.

Sheikh Fahad also affirmed that the Al-Qadsiya Board of Directors is open to engaging with both Kuwaiti and non-Kuwaiti fans regarding the club’s future. He welcomed the new government registration system via the Sahel app, calling it a positive step forward.

He further emphasised that the recent increase in General Assembly registration fees helps prevent mass sign-ups, noting that the current assembly includes 7,000 members: “I cannot manage such a large number alone,” he said.
