Fahad Al-Majmad: A remarkable journey from the stadiums to the fields of honor
Major Fahad Abdulaziz Al-Majmad was not just an officer in the Ministry of Interior; he was also a prominent figure in Kuwaiti football. Al-Majmad began his football career with Al-Qadsia Club , one of Kuwait's oldest and most prestigious clubs, progressing through its youth ranks and acquiring skills that made him a star.
Al-Mujammad later moved to Kazma SC before settling at Al-Salmiya SC, where he enjoyed a remarkable period of success starting in 2019, becoming a key player and captaining the team for several seasons. He concluded his sporting career with a farewell match between Al-Salmiya and Al-Arabi, after which he decided to dedicate himself fully to military service, rising through the ranks to the rank of major before his martyrdom.
Widespread reaction and mourning from sports clubs
The news sparked a wave of public sympathy and solidarity, with sports institutions rushing to offer their condolences. Al-Qadisiyah Club posted a heartfelt message of condolence on its official X platform, stating: "Al-Qadisiyah Club extends its deepest condolences and sincere sympathies on the passing of the late, God willing, martyr of national duty, Major Fahd Abdulaziz Al-Majmad," recalling his high morals and dedication both on the field and in the field of security work.

These forces are considered the first line of defense for the nation's sovereignty, especially given the regional tensions. The martyrdom of the two officers reflects Kuwait's unwavering commitment to actively participating in maintaining Gulf national security and underscores the steadfast military doctrine of the Ministry of Interior personnel, who are prepared to sacrifice their lives for their country. This strengthens national unity and public appreciation for the security forces.
