Players intensify the training session.

KUWAIT CITY, Nov 8: Training kicked off for the Kuwait Olympic (Under-23) team at the Union’s Al-Adailiya fields as it gears up for the Under-23 Gulf Cup in Qatar, scheduled from December 4 to 16.

The team’s Croatian coach, Verdo Milin, named a 31-player squad for the training sessions ahead of the team’s Dubai camp from November 14 to December 2, which will serve as final preparation for the tournament.

The Olympic squad features players born in 2005–2006, part of a long-term plan aimed at qualifying for the AFC U23 Championship and, ultimately, the Los Angeles 2028 Olympics, while the Gulf Cup will feature players born in 2003–2004.

Meanwhile, the Kuwait youth national team has begun its training program in Thailand, continuing its preparation for upcoming regional and international competitions.
