Ali Al-Mouri, Acting Secretary General of the Kuwait Olympic Committee, stated that Kuwait has formally lodged a complaint with the 2026 Nagoya Asian Games Organizing Committee regarding why three players from the Kuwait national football team were denied entry to Japan.

According to Al-Mouri's statement, Kuwait has filed an official complaint with the 2026 Nagoya Asian Games Organizing Committee, requesting clarification on why three players from the Kuwait national football team were denied entry to Japan. The players possessed official authorization letters from the organizing committee, with documents clearly stating they were serving as visas for entry into the host country, yet they were still denied entry.
Al-Mouri stated that the Kuwait Olympic Committee had completed all necessary procedures and submitted all documentation and information for the three players and the Kuwait delegation to the organizing committee within the required timeframe. These materials were received by the Kuwait Football Association in accordance with proper procedures.
He explained that the organizing committee issued official authorization letters after receiving the players' information and passport documents. Although the three players were carrying travel documents issued under Article 17 and held official authorization letters, Japanese authorities at Nagoya Airport decided to deny them entry. Al-Mouri added that the Kuwait delegation first arrived in Bangkok, Thailand, then flew to Japan with properly issued passports and official authorization letters, but authorities at Nagoya Airport refused to allow them through.
He emphasized that after the issue arose, the Kuwait Olympic Committee immediately contacted relevant organizations and made necessary efforts to resolve the matter and return the players to the team as quickly as possible for the competition. Al-Mouri also expressed his deep gratitude to Shaikha Jaber Al-Sabah, the interim charge d'affaires at the Kuwait Embassy in Japan, for her efforts, cooperation, and continued coordination in resolving this issue.
He concluded by stating that the Kuwait Olympic Committee remains fully committed to protecting the rights and interests of Kuwait's athletes and ensuring they can represent Kuwait in all international sports competitions.
