Kuwait revisits iconic World Cup moments
The Kuwaiti national football team has returned to wearing the red jersey, following its use in the opening match of Gulf Cup 27 against Saudi Arabia, held at King Abdullah Sports City Stadium in Jeddah. This decision serves as a reminder of the Kuwaiti team’s history, which first adopted the red color during the 3rd Gulf Cup in 1974, when they won the title for the third consecutive time. The red jersey also gained widespread recognition during Kuwait’s match against France in the 1982 World Cup, where Kuwait played in their red kit and suffered a 4-1 defeat. A famous incident occurred in that match when the referee disallowed a French goal following a mistaken whistle, an event considered one of the notable moments in their international participation history.
