Kazma Sports Club Chairman Asaad Al-Banwan made this announcement at a press conference in the Friendship and Al-Salam Stadium Tuesday.

Speaking on behalf of the club members, Al-Banwan expressed gratitude to the Amir who remains committed to the development of the youth and sports sector in the country.
