KUWAIT CITY, Nov 15: The 2025-2026 Volleyball Federation Cup continues today with two quarterfinal matches at the Volleyball Federation Hall in the Sheikh Saad Al-Abdullah Sports Complex. Qadsia meets Yarmouk at 5:00 pm, while Al-Arabi faces Kazma at 7:00 pm.

The tournament began a few days ago when Al-Arabi edged Sahel 3-2 in a tight encounter to secure their quarterfinal berth and set up a showdown with Kazma. The Green side faces a tough challenge against the Orange, who boast greater technical depth and have foreign professionals in their lineup, while Al-Arabi will be without its foreign players.

The semifinals are scheduled for next Thursday, with the competition set to conclude on Monday, November 23, when the finalists compete for the 2025-2026 Federation Cup title.

The tournament marks the resumption of the 2025-2026 sports season, which was suspended in February due to developments in the Gulf region. Action recently resumed with the completion of the Premier League, where Qadsia emerged as champion after defeating Kuwait Club in the final.

With the league title decided, the focus now shifts to the Federation Cup, as the contenders look to finish the season with another major trophy.
