KUWAIT CITY, May 14: Kuwait Club's first volleyball team claimed the Kuwait Premier League title, marking the 16th championship in the club’s history and its fourth consecutive crown. Kuwait Club secured the title after defeating Burgan Club 3-0 in the second match of the playoff semifinals, held at Union Hall in the Sheikh Saad Al-Abdullah Sports Complex.
