KUWAIT CITY, June 6: The meeting of the Board of Directors of the Kuwait Handball Association, held recently at the Association’s headquarters in Daiya, was led by Vice President Shabib Al-Hajri and attended by all members. Several key decisions were made, including the approval to establish an external training camp for the senior team in Slovenia and Croatia from August 15 to early September. This camp aims to prepare the team for the 2025 World Cup finals, scheduled to be held in Croatia, Denmark, and Norway next January.

The Training and National Teams Authority, headed by Secretary Qayed Al-Adwani, developed a roadmap approved by the Board to prepare national teams at all levels.

The Board of Directors also approved the Arabi Club’s request to host the 39th Arab Club Championship, League, and Cup Champions.
