Al Sarraj: Kuwait will gain from Indonesia 2026
Jakarta: Abdulaziz Al Sarraj believes Kuwait’s involvement in the AFC Futsal Asian Cup Indonesia 2026 will benefit their game at the national level.
The striker was an integral part of his side’s first two matches, scoring in their narrow 5-4 loss to Vietnam and playing his part in their subsequent 6-1 defeat to 2024 runners-up Thailand. Kuwait will close their Group B campaign against Lebanon on Saturday.

“Kuwait has gained many benefits from our participation, especially on the technical side,” said Al Sarraj. “It also gives several young players the chance to represent the nation.

“We hope this competition will be the foundation upon which we build the future of the sport in our country, and we look to fulfil this to the fullest.”

While his team are out of contention for the knockout stage, Al Sarraj wants to go out on a high.

“In our first match, the team delivered a remarkable performance despite our loss,” said the 31-year-old. “We exerted ourselves too much, however, which affected our game against Thailand.

“But we will play against Lebanon motivated by representing Kuwaiti futsal in this continental event and aim to achieve a morale-boosting victory in our last appearance.”
