KUWAIT CITY, Nov 5: The supplementary elections for the Football Association's Board of Directors will take place tonight at 7:00 pm in the meeting hall of Jaber Al-Ahmad International Stadium. An extraordinary general assembly will be held to elect a new Board of Directors, which will serve until May 2026.

Abdullah Al-Shaheen, the former Chairman, resigned on July 15, followed by a collective resignation from the remaining board members on September 14. This decision came after events during Kuwait's match against Iraq at Jaber Stadium on September 10, as part of the Group Two qualifiers for the 2026 World Cup in the U.S., Canada, and Mexico.

This evening, club representatives will select the seven new board members to lead the association. The leadership formation has taken shape, with Sheikh Ahmed Al-Yousef from Salmiya expected to secure the chairman position, while Osama Hussein from Al-Arabi and Mubarak Abdulaziz from Kuwait Club will likely take the two vice-presidential roles. Hanan Al-Hardan will assume the mandatory women’s seat. Six candidates are contending for the final three board positions: Ayman Al-Hussaini (Kazma), Dr. Ahmed Ajab (Al-Sahel), Fahd Al-Hamlan (Al-Fahaheel), Thamer Anad (Al-Sulaibikhat), Salem Saadoun (Al-Tadamon), and Majed Awad (Al-Shabab).
