Fawaz Al-Shammari's side, FWZ, have secured their first victory at the 2026 Kings League Club World Cup in Milan. In a thrilling encounter, the Kuwaiti team knocked out tournament favorites Porcinos FC, clinching the result with a 4:1 win in the penalty shootout.
This outcome marks a significant upset, as Porcinos entered the tournament as one of the most successful and popular sides. The defeat highlights the increasing competitiveness of teams representing the Middle East and North Africa region on the global stage.
This victory serves as another statement from the region, following a recent surprise win by Saudi Arabia's DR7 against the reigning champions. The momentum is building ahead of the inaugural season of the Kings League Middle East, which is set to launch in Riyadh this September.
