Kuwait volleyball team ends West Asia campaign in fifth place
MANAMA, July 26: Kuwait's national volleyball team wrapped up its campaign at the inaugural West Asia Championship by securing fifth place, following a commanding 3-0 win over the UAE in the fifth-place playoff match. The sets ended 25-17, 30-28, and 25-17 in favor of Al-Azraq. In another placement match, Jordan defeated Lebanon 3-0 to take seventh place. Kuwait had a challenging start to the tournament, opening with a 0-3 loss to Oman — a result that had a lasting impact on its progression. Despite bouncing back with a 3-2 victory over Saudi Arabia and a close 2-3 loss to Qatar, Kuwait finished fourth in Group B. This set up a quarterfinal clash with Group A winner Bahrain, which ended in a 0-3 defeat. However, Al-Azraq responded strongly in the classification stage, defeating both Jordan and the UAE to claim fifth place overall. Player Abdulnasser Al-Enezi expressed mixed feelings after the final match. While pleased with the team's win over the UAE, he voiced disappointment at missing out on the semifinals. 'Fifth place wasn't our ambition — we were aiming for a spot in the final four,' he said. 'Arriving just one day before the start of the tournament affected our performance against Oman, and that impacted our path in the competition.' Al-Enezi added that the team includes several promising young players and stressed the importance of continued support and development to help them reach their full potential.

Kazma signs Al-Enezi as part of squad overhaul for new season
KUWAIT CITY, June 30: Kazma Club has officially signed veteran midfielder Sultan Al-Enezi, who will join the team for the upcoming 2024-2025 season. The former Kuwait international returns to club football after parting ways with Omani side Dhofar in January. Al-Enezi, who previously played for Al-Qadsiya and Al-Arabi, brings valuable experience to the midfield as Kazma continues to rebuild ahead of the new Premier League season starting September 12. The 'Orange' team has already made several moves to strengthen the squad. Kazma secured the services of Olympic team standout Bandar Al-Barazi from Al-Nasr Club, and renewed the contract of defender Bader Dhikrallah after his strong comeback season following a two-year academic absence. Striker Mishaal Al-Shammari, a vital part of Kazma's attack, also extended his stay with the club. Meanwhile, club captain Hamad Al-Harbi departed to join Al-Arabi. Kazma is undergoing a managerial transition as well, with Croatian coach Dragan Tadić taking over from Bosnian Rosimir Cefko. The club has also bolstered its foreign contingent by signing Jordanians Ali Al-Azaizeh and Yousef Bujzer, while renewing the contracts of Anas Al-Awadat and Nigerian Samson Enekola after their solid performances last season. As part of the overhaul, the club opted not to renew the contracts of Brazilian Janos Ramalo, Tunisian Montaser Lahtimi, and Nigerian Kinglesi Sokari. In related transfer news, Fahaheel added to its midfield by signing Salman Al-Boos, who recently left Al-Qadsiya. Despite limited appearances last season, Al-Boos has been a regular with the Olympic national team and is expected to play a key role at his new club.

Kuwait urges action on missing persons in armed conflicts
Minister Plenipotentiary and Deputy Permanent Representative of Kuwait at the United Nations Faisal Al-Enezi hold talks with other officials. - KUNA NEW YORK: Kuwait has reaffirmed the urgent need to address the plight of missing persons in armed conflicts by tackling root causes and fostering inclusive dialogue as a foundation for peaceful dispute resolution. The statement came during remarks by Minister Plenipotentiary and Deputy Permanent Representative of Kuwait to the United Nations Faisal Al-Enezi at a side event hosted Thursday at Kuwait's Mission to the UN. The event was organized in partnership with the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC), the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA), and The Global Alliance for the Missing. Al-Enezi cited alarming figures from the ICRC indicating that 2024 witnessed the highest annual increase in the number of missing persons in more than two decades. He stressed the pressing need for proactive preventive measures and effective mechanisms to respond to such cases. Highlighting Kuwait's longstanding leadership in this field, Al-Enezi pointed to the country's sponsorship of UN Security Council Resolution 2474 (2019) — the first resolution dedicated to missing persons in armed conflict. The resolution underscores the importance of prevention, identification of the missing, return of remains to families, and accountability as key components of reconciliation and lasting peace. He further called on all parties to conflict to register and report the personal details of detainees and guarantee their ability to communicate with family members. Al-Enezi concluded by reaffirming Kuwait's commitment to promoting collective dialogue and strengthening practical cooperation between states, UN agencies, and civil society to better safeguard the rights of missing persons and prevent future tragedies. — KUNA
