Brief: For the first time I think, girls have a decent indoor place to practice soccer and other kind of sports. For 30 KD an hour, no more than men usually pay, girls can get their own indoor artificial grass field, and on the side can set and enjoy the cafeteria, and hey, Wi-Fi. How come we don’t have that? Interested people can even book the whole place for one day for, umm, 240 KD. But that’s good for large gatherings and special occasions I guess.

They also have a website for online booking called Inspor, although I have to say, the mix of the two sites is a bit confusing.

At all rates, I think it’s a great thing to have, and hope the girls can enjoy it (without invading our territory please!)

Name: Soccer Scene

Site: http://soccerscene.com.kw/ / UK Original Site (to see what they have)

Type: Sport / Soccer / Store

Location: Avenues Mall, Kuwait

Opening Date: Expected February, 2010

Soccer Scene, as I heard, the famous british soccer specialized store is going to open a branch at Avenues Mall next February hopefully. The store brand was established back in 1980, and they say you can’t miss it if you’re sport shopping in UK.

While we have several stores now at Avenues, I still find my self lacking variety and some items sometimes, so let’s hope this coming store can fill up the gap, and at reasonable prices.

The Good: For people who like sailing, sea sport, and boats, this is a very good chance to take a broader look at what’s available out there.

The Bad: The fountain area these days is so much condensed with boats you can’t enjoy the view anymore. Also, the place is more crowded, so a set at a cafe won’t guarantee nice and quite time. On a a side note, majority of visitors were foreigns.

Golf in Kuwait may not be the most famous sport for several reasons. One very important is the lack of golf courses in Kuwait. Only few years back, The Sahara Golf and Country Club opened with 18 golf course built according to the PGA championship standards. The course takes on 6730 yards in length, featuring 3 lakes and around 5000 trees. The golf club is located on the 6th ring road, you can see the Contact section for a detailed map. I have never practiced or watched this type of sport. So is there a community for the golf sport in Kuwait?

Apparently there is! Q8Golf is the so-called home of golf in Kuwait. Place for all golf fans to come and see latest events, tournaments, hall of fame list and other news. Even if I don’t like it, it’s nice to see more varieties of entertainment and sport places for people to go in Kuwait. Especially foreigners who may be missing those type of sport in their own country.
