Kuwait is currently holding the 2023 IBF World Bowling Championship and I don’t think anybody knows. The international sporting event which started on October 4th and is ongoing until October 15th is taking place at the Kuwait Bowling Sporting Club in Salmiya. The bowling alley is one of the largest in the region with 48 bowling lanes and when I passed by yesterday, they were all being used for the event.
The men’s competition includes teams from Korea, Singapore, Hong Kong, Macau, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Philippines, Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, UAE, Oman, Iran, Jordan, Malaysia, Czechoslovak, Denmark, Germany, Lithuania, Colombia, Canada, Egypt in addition to Kuwait.
The women’s teams include Korea, Singapore, Saudi Arabia, Philippines, China, Kazakhstan, Malaysia, Denmark, Germany, Colombia, Canada in addition to host Kuwait.
There is plenty of seating if you want to go and watch the event live. When I passed by there were multiple matches taking place simultaneously and I just moved from one area to another to watch the games. Entry to watch the event is free and the matches start at 9AM and continue throughout the day till around 5PM. You can check out the schedule below.
The event is also being streamed live online. They have 4 cameras streaming simultaneously and you can watch those on YouTube. Link

Are they intentionally avoiding crowds by keeping this a secret? Or just incompetent at event marketing?
I don’t know, maybe they don’t think anybody cares? I think it’s pretty cool since we build this huge ass bowling arena and making good use of it. But maybe for them its just business as usual.
“Czechoslovak” hasn’t existed since the early 90’s. It’s either Czech or Slovakia.
That’s so true! So weird, I just copied and pasted it from the news
