Rashid Al-Rabah’s three-year run with Qadsia has ended after his contract expired, closing what the club describes as an important chapter with the “Yellow.” He contributed to several domestic and international titles during his time in Kuwait City.

The experienced player is now weighing offers from local clubs before choosing his next destination for the coming season. His departure marks another change in a career that also included a successful spell with Kuwait Club, where he won numerous domestic and overseas titles.

Qadsia is using the offseason to rebuild its basketball team ahead of the 2026-27 campaign. The club wants a competitive roster capable of challenging for major domestic and international honors and returning to the top of the podium.

The team has appointed Turkish coach Murat Dekmen as head coach. He replaces compatriot Andyak Baiser, who led Qadsia during the previous two seasons. Qadsia has also added American players Alfonso Wells and Wesley Alsegaier, along with Senegalese forward Pape Boubacar Sarr.
