The foundation has, in the beginning, launched its activity, since its establishment in 2007, inside the State of Kuwait; and after having achieved reasonable success in its local humanitarian works and projects, the foundation has conveyed its experience outside Kuwait in order to express the orig- inality of the Kuwaiti society and its global entrepre- neurship in the humanitarian work. The foundation has been able to achieve many rela- tions and cooperation protocols at the regional and international levels. So, we, in the Kuwait Center for Documentation of Humanitarian Action “FANAR”, have the honor to participate and cooperate with it to docu- ment its pioneering humanitarian course of action, and at the same time we call for more giving and distinc- tion, and we also encourage its sister charitable socie- ties and institutions so as to document their volunteer and humanitarian work so as to benefit from its suc- cessful experiences. This is for emphasizing the role of the State of Kuwait as a global center for humanitarian work, and its Emir as the leader of humanitarian work.

But the award ceremony was marred when a glass barricade shattered after Omani fans rushed to greet their national team players, who had approached the stands. Between 20 and 30 fans were reportedly injured after falling to the ground, but no serious injuries were reported. They were rushed to Farwaniya Hospital. Earlier, Oman’s goalkeeper Fayez Al-Rusheidi blocked UAE midfielder Omar Al-Amoodi’s penalty shot in regulation time and again in the penalty shootouts to help his team win their second Gulf Cup after their victory in the 19th edition that the sultanate hosted in 2009. Both teams failed to score in regular time, sending the match into extra time, which also end- ed goalless. Oman dominated most parts of the match, having more possession and being more dangerous to the UAE net. But the most dangerous opportunity in the match came for the UAE when the referee called for a penalty kick in injury time. But Amoodi, considered one of the tournament’s best players and among the region’s most promising talents, failed to convert as Rusheidi was able to block his shot. Play had started slowly, and the first real scoring opportunity came in the 15th minute when Oman’s KUWAIT: Oman’s players celebrate after winning the Gulf Cup of Nations 2017 final football match between Oman and the UAE at the Sheikh Jaber al-Ahmad Stadium in Jameel Al-Yahmadi’s header went above the post.
