MANAMA: Qatar squad on Friday underwent rigorous training ahead of their final preparations in lead up to Sunday's match against Kuwait in the GCC championship for Olympic teams currently taking place in Bahrain. Qatar who arrived in Manama last week face Kuwait on January 18 before taking on United Arab Emirates. Friday’s training sessions were headed by coach Fahad Thani who has guided the team in numerous friendly matches since taking over the team last March. The Gulf Under-23 Championship is currently being held in Bahrain from January 16 to 26.
