KUWAIT CITY, May 25: Salwa Al-Sabah Club (A) team clinched the Girls’ Federation Cup Squash Championship after a thrilling 2-1 victory over Al-Qurain Club in the final match. Salwa Al-Sabah Club (B) secured third place, marking a historic double for the club, having already claimed the league title for the 2024–2025 season.

The final was held at the late Sheikh Salem Al-Sabah Center in South Surra, the headquarters of the Squash Federation.

Federation President Walid Al-Sumaie presented the championship cup to standout player Reem Al-Sawagh, joined by teammates Sarah Al-Ali and Farida Hazem. Colored medals were awarded by Al-Qurain Club President Abdulkarim Al-Shahoumi, Federation Vice President Khaled Al-Habib, Secretary General Hamed Al-Omran, and board member Adel Al-Gharib. Also present were Women’s Committee Rapporteur Asma Al-Muqbil and Salwa Al-Sabah Club Treasurer Suad Sadiq.

Team administrator Omaima Al-Jamal attributed the club's success to the unwavering support of Board Chairwoman Sheikha Naima Al-Ahmad Al-Sabah, who ensured the team had top-level technical and financial resources, including contracts with professional coaches from Pakistan and performance-based incentives for players.

“This achievement is a result of our Chairwoman’s continued backing, which motivated the players to earn this honor and place the club's name firmly in the sport's golden records,” said Al-Jamal.

She also expressed hope that the Kuwait Squash Federation would coordinate with the Arab Federation to launch an Arab Clubs Championship, which she believes would raise the competitive level of players and positively impact the future of the national team.

Al-Jamal concluded by thanking the Federation and its Women’s Committee—especially Chair Hamed Al-Omran, Rapporteur Asma Al-Muqbil, and member Mona Al-Qanai—for their ongoing support.
