Kuwaiti Premier League Club Kazma Unwittingly Defeated Amateur Team in Misrepresented Match

Kazma, a Kuwaiti Premier League club, celebrated a 7-1 victory over what they believed to be the Egyptian team Telephonat Beni Suef. It was later uncovered that their opponents were amateur players unassociated with the Egyptian side. Organisers apologised, and the issue sparked a social media uproar.

Kuwaiti Premier League club Kazma celebrated a 7-1 friendly match victory over Egyptian side Telephonat Beni Suef, only to later discover that they had faced amateur players with no connection to the official team.

Organisers of the match, held at Kazma's training camp in Alexandria, Egypt, have apologised, admitting they were deceived into believing that their opponents represented Telephonat Beni Suef, a third-tier Egyptian side.

Reports by Egyptian media confirmed the misrepresentation, leading to a social media backlash and a statement from Kazma demanding accountability from the organisers.

StarMaker Football, the company responsible for organising the camp, issued a statement apologising for the mistake and claimed they were misled by a representative allegedly associated with Telephonat Beni Suef.

The Egyptian Football Association vowed to collaborate with Kuwaiti authorities to investigate the incident, and announced that future friendly matches with foreign teams would require their explicit permission.
