Bahrain's volleyball superstar Mohammed Yaqoob is set to make history as the first-ever player from the kingdom to compete in the top men’s professional league in South Korea.
The national team standout has signed a three-month contract with Uijeongbu KB Insurance Stars volleyball club of the Korean V-League, and could be making his on-court debut later this week.
In an exclusive interview with GDN, Yaqoob expressed his delight in earning this fantastic new opportunity, which he hopes will open doors for many other players from across the Gulf.
