Haif Al-Hajraf

KUWAIT CITY, Sept: Former Al-Jahra Club President Mohammed Haif Al-Hajraf has extended an invitation to all previous club presidents for a meeting at his office next week to address the club's deteriorating situation. Al-Hajraf, during this gathering, is calling on all parties involved in the club's ongoing legal disputes to unite in forming a temporary committee that would oversee the club's management, ensuring representation from all sides.

In a press statement, Al-Hajraf mentioned that he met with the acting director of the Sports Authority, Bashar Abdullah to present this initiative. Abdullah expressed his support, stating that he is in favor of any measures that would resolve the issues facing the Al-Jahra Club. Al-Hajraf further criticized the current bylaws, highlighting a significant legislative flaw that removed the Sports Authority's supervisory role over elections, leaving the process in the hands of electoral committees that lack the necessary experience and resources.

He emphasized that both he and the former club presidents maintain neutrality in the conflict, not favoring any side, but expressed concern over the club’s deteriorating condition. Al-Hajraf pointed out that the club's players have become targets for other clubs seeking to sign them due to the failure to register them in the club's records with the federations. Additionally, the suspension of salaries for the club's employees and coaches due to the lack of recognized management has created an urgent need for swift action by the club's leadership to rescue it from its current dire state.
