Real Madrid In Kuwait: We Surrender
03rd May 2012 by His
For a couple of weeks now rumors were spread that Real Madrid will be playing in Kuwait in May. This was confirmed yesterday’s press conference. Am I excited? not really.
Sports in Kuwait is going downhill and getting Real Madrid isn’t really a solution. The recent “changes” in the sports law isn’t really effective. Our MP’s are fighting and shouting for the lamest things, while the Kuwaiti sports authorities was banned in different sports and had the Kuwaiti flag replaced with the olympic flag.
However, this is not my case at all. My case is how can you invite such a big team, let the fans pay and you have a stadium that you should be ashamed of? Even Jaber stadium which is just standing there not being used because the people love the money before their country.
Let’s not forget that Euro 2012 will start on June 8th and national teams will not be really risking their players for a friendly game. If you tell me Ronaldo will be playing in the game, I say that’s what they said with Barcelona. Players their are very important, not the way they are treated here.
Don’t make us happy by paying teams to “entertain” us. I want to be happy by watching our teams prosper. I want to see Kuwait teams in the Asian Champions league, I want to see professional Kuwaiti players, I want to see stadium full of supporters and hopefully one day, I would like to see a Kuwaiti player in Europe.
Bringing a team doesn’t mean we won, it means we surrendered.

If you want football, and sports in general, to prosper; then get 3yal el-shaheed out of them. Ever since they got in, everything has gotten terribly bad. They lack any sense of patriotism, only following what will personally enrich them, both in monetary terms and in power.
Getting Kuwait kicked out of International associations were all shameful games instigated by them. Add their lack of loyalty or even respect to true local sports heroes, or have you forgotten when the current head of our football association refused the one-minute silence in remembrance of the death of our national sport hero, Sameer Sa3eed.
Fixing sports will only be done when you get those opportunistic guys away from management. We have complained enough, but problem is: no one listens!
