BOWLING – The fourth edition of the Khalid bin Hamad Bowling Championship has received official recognition from the International Bowling Federation (IBF) and the Asian Bowling Federation (ABF), the Bahrain Bowling Federation (BBF) has announced.
The event is to be included in the Asian rankings for the second consecutive year.
This reflects the support of Supreme Council for Youth and Sports first deputy chairman, General Sports Authority chairman, and Bahrain Olympic Committee president Shaikh Khalid bin Hamad Al Khalifa, and his efforts to develop Bahraini sport and strengthen its international presence.

The recognition strengthens the championship’s competitive standing and helps attract leading bowlers from Asia and around the world.

Mustafa Almousawi from Kuwait was the runner-up while Jassim Almuraikhi from Qatar came third, while Rashed Aldalhan was the top Bahraini finisher in fourth overall, also competing in the youth category.
