It develops a team spirit and a leadership skill and quality in a person associated with the games and sports in different formats. Keeping these facts in mind, Indian Muslim Association (IMA) Kuwait has always strived to promote different cultural and sport activities among its members at various levels, starting right from its Children Circle, & Youth Wing up to the higher levels among its main cadres.

The tournament concluded with a prize distribution ceremony, where the Chief Guest IMA Senior Member Mr Ahmed Ali Sahab, presented the winner's trophy to the triumphant Gurkha Khukri team. The team’s victory was a testament to their dedication and skill on the court.
Brother Seraj, the captain of the IMA team, graciously accepted the runner-up trophy, commending his team for their outstanding performance and determination throughout the tournament.
