The Cabinet requested a full report from the Public Authority for Sports (PAS) on necessary procedures that are required to fix the football situation, State Minister for Cabinet Affairs Sheikh Mohammad Al-Adbullah Al-Mubarak Al-Sabah told the press after the Cabinet's Monday meeting.

He added that these procedures should ensure eliminating all obstacles, promoting sports and to enabling athletes to practice their sports.
