Bahrain Shake Off Saudi Scare to March Into Final
TDT | Manama The stage is set for a fitting finale to the WAVA Men's Volleyball Championship 2025, with hosts Bahrain facing an unbeaten Qatar side in tonight's gold medal match. Both arrived in peak form, but their semi-final wins followed sharply different arcs. Bahrain Finally Blink Bahrain's 3–1 win over Saudi Arabia (26–28, 25–16, 25–22, 25–22) was the first time the hosts had dropped a set in the tournament. They led 23–20 in the opener, only to collapse under a string of errors and a great service run from Marwan Al Hawasawi, who ended as top scorer with 23 points. That early stumble jolted the Bahrainis into action. In the second set, their reliable trio—Naser Anan, Ali Ebrahim, and Mohammed Yaqoob—found rhythm. Anan later admitted they were briefly caught out. 'They came out aggressive and pushed us off balance,' he said. 'We weren't sharp enough on serve or block, and that's on us. But we stayed together, stuck to our system, and earned the win.' Yaqoob echoed him: 'We'd played two friendlies against Saudi and knew they had quality, but we weren't expecting the intensity they brought tonight. It caught us off guard. Now we prepare for Qatar and it's never an easy match against them.' With Hassan Al Warqaa dominant in the middle and Bahrain's wings clicking, the second set swung their way 25–16. Saudi pressed through Mohammed Adel and Al Hawasawi, but coach Arnaud Josserand's late third-set sub Mohammed Anan shifted the tone. Bahrain sealed the next two sets 25–22. Statistically, Bahrain edged it: 101 total points to Saudi's 88, 12 blocks to five, and fewer errors (28 to 34). Both sides served two aces, but Saudi's 18 service errors were costly compared to Bahrain's 12. Qatar Stay Clinical, Wadidie Leads Earlier, Qatar swept aside Oman 3–0 (25–18, 25–19, 25– 20). Raimi Wadidie starred with 17 points, including three blocks and two aces. 'We knew Oman would be aggressive, it's a semi-final,' said Waleed Mohamed Widatalla. 'But we stayed focused and followed the plan.' Qatar reached the final with straight-sets wins over Lebanon (twice) and Kuwait. Bahrain had done the same to Jordan, Lebanon, UAE and Kuwait before this semi. With 2024 Arab Championship and 2025 AVC Nations Cup titles already secured, Bahrain are one match away from a third crown in less than a year. But tonight's 7pm final at Isa bin Rashed Volleyball Hall will test them, because Qatar haven't blinked either. Entry is free for all.

Sampson's Spark Ignites Bahrain's Arab Championship Opener
TDT | Manama The 26th Men's Arab Basketball Championship tipped off yesterday at Khalifa Sports City Arena, with hosts Bahrain stepping confidently into the spotlight following Tunisia's last-minute withdrawal as organisers. Coached by Greek veteran Georgios Vovoras, Bahrain brought back all 12 players who secured bronze at the William Jones Cup just days ago. Among them were Mustafa Hussain, Ahmed Salman, and Wayne Chism, now joined by teenage standouts Hassan Abdulkadir and Somto Onoduenyi—the U16 heroes from Bahrain's recent Gulf title run. Bahrain controlled the early tempo in their opener, jumping out to a 14-6 lead in the first quarter. Qatar edged the second (18-17), but Bahrain regained control in the third (19-13) before holding off a late push in the fourth (22-24) to close out a 72-61 win. JaKarr Sampson's 26 points and Hussain's 13 rebounds led the way, while Qatar's Djan Janik kept it competitive with 22 points and 11 rebounds in a strong individual performance.'It's very important to get the first win because it gives us the motivation for the rest of the tournament,' said Mustafa Hussain post-match. 'Alhamdulilah for this result. It's a big step in gathering the points we need.' Ahmed Salman echoed that urgency while already looking ahead to tonight's clash with UAE. 'They're a big team,' he said. 'We've played them three times recently, but always without Qais Al Shabibi, and mashAllah, he is a team on his own. We need to prepare well. This win is only the beginning.' Algeria and UAE Impress Elsewhere, Algeria stunned Tunisia 86-81 in the tournament's curtain-raiser. A scorching 30-12 second quarter gave Algeria the cushion they needed, despite a late Tunisian charge. Sedoud Chakib led the way with 21 points, supported by Briki Soufiane (14 pts), while Omar Abada was Tunisia's top scorer with 13. In the second matchup, UAE beat Kuwait 87-79, led by a standout performance from Qais Al Shabibi who finished with 26 points and 14 assists. Demarco Dickerson added 24. Kuwait's Mohamed Adnan Hasan kept his team close with 23 points, but couldn't prevent defeat. The format offers no room for error—just a single round-robin league, with the best record crowned champions on August 2. Every game is played at Khalifa Sports City Arena, with free entry making this a true festival of Arab basketball. Next up today Kuwait face Tunisia at 4PM, Egypt begin their title defence against Qatar at 6PM, and Bahrain return to the court at 8PM in a must-watch clash with the high-flying UAE.
