KUWAIT CITY, March 2, (KUNA): The first Arabian Gulf Women’s Futsal Cup championship, slated to start in Kuwait on March 14, has been put off due to the spread of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19), head of the organizing committee said.

“The postponement is a precaution that aims to ensure the safety of players and the public health,” board member of Kuwait Football Association Fatema Hayat told reporters.

She noted that the championship could be held in the fourth quarter of the year after consultations with the women committees of the football associations of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) states and Iraq.
