KUWAIT CITY, Nov 27: The fifth round of the Federation Volleyball Championship is set to take place today, featuring two exciting matchups at the Federation Hall in the Sheikh Saad Indoor Halls Complex. Al-Qadsiya will face Al-Nasr at 5:00 pm, followed by a clash between Kuwait and Al-Arabi at 7:00 pm.
In the first game, Al-Qadsiya is favored to secure a win over Al-Nasr due to the evident technical disparity between the teams. However, the second match promises to be more competitive, as Al-Arabi aims to challenge Kuwait Club and demonstrate its ability to contend for the title against the "Al-Abyad."
Kazma delivered a commanding 3-0 victory over Al-Nasr, while Al-Shabab overcame Al-Sulaibikhat 3-1. Kazma maintained its unbeaten streak, increasing its tally to 9 points from three consecutive wins. Al-Nasr, a newcomer to the tournament, remains without points after three losses. Meanwhile, Al-Shabab improved to 4 points from one win and three losses, while Al-Sulaibikhat continues to struggle with four consecutive defeats and no points.
Kazma dominated its match against Al-Nasr, winning in straight sets with scores of 25-15, 25-16, and 25-19. Al-Shabab showed resilience in its game, recovering from a first-set loss (19-25) to take the next three sets 25-22, 25-16, and 25-19.
The championship follows a single-round league format, with the top four teams advancing to the semi-finals. The first-place team will face the fourth-place team, while the second and third-place teams will compete for a spot in the final.
