KUWAIT CITY, Nov 10: Kuwait Club and Qadsia will face off in the Premier Volleyball League final on Thursday after defeating Sulaibikhat and Kazma, respectively, in the semifinals. The competition is being completed from last season.

Kuwait Club cruised into the final with a 3-0 victory over Sulaibikhat, while Qadsia secured the second spot after beating Kazma 3-1. The two traditional rivals will now battle for the title, while Kazma and Sulaibikhat will contest third place.

Kuwait Club had to overcome a spirited challenge from Sulaibikhat, who put up strong resistance in the opening two sets. However, Kuwait Club’s experience and the quality of its foreign professionals, Brazilian Marcos De Souza and Swedish Jakob Link, made the difference at crucial stages.

In the second semifinal, Qadsia gained revenge on Kazma after losing its previous two encounters. The Yellow Brigade recovered from dropping the opening set to claim a 3-1 win. Kazma, known as the Orange team, edged the first set 30-28, but Qadsia responded emphatically by winning the next three sets to seal its place in the final.
