Fahad Saad Al-Saad

KUWAIT CITY, Aug 5: Kazma officially signed Fahad Saad Al-Saad from Qadsiya to strengthen its first volleyball team ahead of the new season.

This move follows Kazma's renewal of Brazilian coach Cacaratto’s contract and the addition of Brazilian professional Costa, as the club looks to build a competitive squad for the upcoming season.

Meanwhile, with the conclusion of the previous volleyball season, several players have parted ways with their clubs. Notably, Jasem Al-Sabbagh — a standout player — has ended his stint with Kuwait Club after four successful seasons in which he helped secure several domestic titles. Al-Sabbagh is currently reviewing multiple offers from local clubs as he considers his next move.

In a similar development, setter Abdullah Al-Assaf has ended his contract with Al-Shabab Club, making him a free agent. Given his strong reputation in the setter position, several local teams are expected to compete for his signature in the coming days. Additionally, Mohammad Al-Ali has also terminated his contract with Salibikhat Club.

On the national front, Kuwait’s junior national volleyball team opened its training camp in Egypt with an impressive 3-0 victory over the Egyptian junior team in their first friendly match. The camp is part of preparations for the 17th Arab Junior Volleyball Championship, scheduled to take place in Jordan from August 14 to 26.

Kuwait was drawn into Group B alongside Bahrain, Palestine, Saudi Arabia, and Iraq. Group A comprises Egypt, the UAE, Libya, Lebanon, and the host nation, Jordan. The team is led by national coach Mohammad Abdulrazzaq, with assistant coach Mishal Al-Subti.
