KUWAIT CITY, May 4: The Supreme Organizing Committee of the third GCC countries hosted by Kuwait from 13 to May 31, attracting about 1,700 male and female players, revealed the mascot of the tournament. The mascot is a model of the red fox (Al-Hesni) that is inspired by the Kuwaiti environment, Fatima Hayat, the committee member and head of the Women's Sports Committee, told reporters.
The fox was chosen as a msacot because it is one of the wild animals that lived in the desert of Kuwait and Arabia, and was famous for its ability to live in harsh desert conditions. The launch ceremony will take place at the 360 Marina on May 22, she said, elaborating that the event includes 16 different sports, mainly volleyball, basketball, futsal, swimming, athletics, karate and judo.
