Kuwait Resigns General Board of Directors Against Korea World Cup Qualifiers

The board of directors of Kuwait, Korea's 2026 North-China World Cup qualifier, resigned due to crowd management problems at the home A match in September.

French media AFP reported on the 16th that the secretary-general of the Kuwait Football Association and all the board members resigned.

The Kuwait Football Association's board of directors decided to resign after an investigation into administrative and public management and admission rights issues related to the home game against Iraq in the third Asian qualifying round for the 2026 North-China World Cup at Jabeur Al-Ahmad International Stadium in Kuwait on the 10th.

According to the media, fans who lined up to enter the 60,000-person stadium were left for hours in the heat of more than 40 degrees Celsius.

Some fans fainted, and images of people begging nearby for water spread online.

In addition, some fans who did not have tickets entered the stadium, while fans who purchased tickets could not watch the game.

Immediately after, the association suspended the duties of the secretary-general and public relations director, bowing down as an "unacceptable incident," but did not disclose the details.

South Korea, led by national soccer team coach Hong Myung-bo, will play Kuwait on November 24 in the away game of Group B of the third Asian qualifying round for the 2026 North-China World Cup.
