KUWAIT CITY, March 2: Al-Qadsiya enters today’s match against Al-Tadamon at 9 PM at the Federation Hall in Sheikh Saad Al-Abdullah Complex, determined to secure a victory that would propel it from seventh to fourth place in the volleyball league standings. Currently, "Banu Qadis" sits in seventh with nine points, while Al-Tadamon lingers in tenth place with just three points.

The odds favor Al-Qadsiya, given the team’s superior capabilities under Bahraini head coach Reda Ali and the contributions of Iranian professional Mohammad Reza Beyk and Bulgarian star Branimir Grozdanov. This match marks Al-Qadsiya’s first appearance since competing in the West Asian Clubs Championship in Bahrain, where it finished sixth.

The team aims to capitalize on Al-Tadamon’s struggles, secure three crucial points, and strengthen its bid for a spot in the Golden Square after an underwhelming West Asian Championship campaign.

Meanwhile, Al-Tadamon, having won just one match and lost five, has little to lose and will be looking to cause an upset.

Kazma leads the league with 18 points, tied with Al-Shabab. Kuwait Club follows with 12 points, while Al-Arabi, Burgan, and Al-Nasr each have nine points. Al-Qadsiya and Al-Sulaibikhat hold six points, Al-Yarmouk has five, Al-Tadamon sits at three, and Al-Sahel remains at the bottom with just one point.
