KUWAIT CITY, Sept 6: The Kuwait Squash Federation outlined its plans for the 2026-2027 season at a coordination meeting with representatives from local clubs.

Federation Secretary-General and Competitions Committee Chairman Hamed Al-Omran chaired the meeting, which was attended by Competitions Committee member Abdulhadi Al-Aryan and representatives from 12 of the 14 clubs.

Al-Omran presented the new season calendar, which will run from September 13 until May 20, 2027. The season will open with last season's postponed Federation Cup, a 12-day tournament, followed immediately by the National Singles Championship.

The meeting also addressed several proposals, including reopening registration for foreign players after the practice was suspended for four years. Under the proposal, each club would be permitted to register one foreign player born in Kuwait.

Al-Omran said the proposal would go to the Competitions Committee for further review before being submitted to the federation’s board for a final decision. He said the objective was to support the clubs and strengthen the level of domestic competition.

He added that the Federation Cup draw will be held at the federation’s headquarters this week and will feature seven age categories, including the women’s category.

Meanwhile, Al-Omran announced that Kuwait Club’s women’s team is returning to domestic competition after a two-season absence. Their comeback is expected to add further competition to the local tournaments, especially after the White won both the league and cup titles during the inaugural women’s season six years ago.
