Kuwait Club previously reached the Semi-Finals in the first two editions of the pan-regional tournament, with their 2023 campaign culminating in a strong finish as runners-up to Manama. Following an absence from the Final 8 last year due to a surprising exit in the 2024-25 WASL-Gulf League Qualification, the team now has an opportunity to redeem themselves.
Head coach Dusan Stojkov expressed his satisfaction, stating, "For me personally, it's nice. But I'm much happier for my team and for my club. This means a lot to us." Grant was the top scorer for Kuwait Club with 32 points and 8 assists, while Brown contributed 29 points and 7 rebounds, helping the team secure a 56-38 lead by halftime.
Chinanu Onuaku added a double-double with 10 points and 14 rebounds, while Moh Hasan narrowly missed his own double-double with 10 points and 9 rebounds, as four players scored in double figures during the victory.
