PRAGUE, Aug 16: Kuwait Club defeated Czech side Mlada Boleslav 4-2 in its second friendly of the Prague training camp. Goals came from Mohamed Marhoon, Amr Abdel Fattah, Ahmed Alaa, and Mohamed Daham. The team continues its preparations for additional friendlies ahead of the camp’s conclusion on August 28.

Qadsia has set its remaining pre-season friendlies in Turkey:

Tuesday: Al-Wehda (Saudi Arabia)

Saturday: Sitra (Bahrain) — also a Group A opponent in the Gulf Club Champions Cup starting September 30

August 28: Al-Orouba (Saudi Arabia)

The future of Libyan international Hamdou Elhouni remains uncertain. Qadsia sources say he signed a preliminary contract and will join soon, while Al-Ahly Tripoli claims he renewed his deal. Elhouni recently won the Libyan league title, though reports suggest he could face sanctions due to the overlapping contracts.

Meanwhile, Qadsia continues its search for a new foreign striker to replace Moroccan Ismail Khafi, who mutually terminated his contract last week.

Al-Arabi will conclude training today before departing for Dubai to continue its pre-season preparations, which include two friendlies, ahead of returning in early September
