KUWAIT CITY, Nov 9: The dispute between Al-Qadsia and Kazma in the Al-Ittihad Volleyball Championship has taken a new turn. Following Al-Qadsia’s official protest over the participation of Kazma’s Abdul Rahman Al-Mut’a, who had received a disqualification in a previous match, the Volleyball Federation has accepted the protest. As a result, the match for third and fourth places, initially won 3-0 by Kazma, will be replayed today. Al-Qadsia alleged that Al-Mut’a violated rules by participating in the match and urged that Kazma be declared the losers with a score of 0-3. However, Kazma has objected to this decision, expressing reservations and demanding the approval of the initially recorded result. The tension may escalate if Kazma chooses not to participate in the rematch scheduled for this evening at Al-Ittihad Hall in the Sheikh Saad Al-Abdullah Complex. In response to the controversy, the Volleyball Federation accepted the letter and has taken a temporary measure by suspending the referees and observers involved in the semi-final match between Kazma and Burgan. An investigation is underway to determine the responsible party and impose appropriate sanctions.
