Al Arabi edge Al Duhail to secure Qatar Handball Cup 2026

DOHA - Al Arabi secured the Qatar Cup for Handball 2025-26 season with a hard-fought 31-29 win over Al Duhail in the final at the Al Duhail Sports Hall on Monday.

Trailing 13-15 at halftime, Al Arabi staged a second-half comeback to overturn the deficit and claim the two-goal win.

Second Vice President of the Qatar Olympic Committee Dr. Thani bin Abdulrahman Al Kuwari and President of the Qatar Handball Federation (QHF) Ahmed Mohammed Al Shaabi presented the championship trophy and medals to the players.

The triumph marks Al Arabi’s third Qatar Handball Cup title, following successes in 2020-2021 and 2023-2024. The club also secured the league and Federation Cup this season, completing a historic treble. Al Arabi now aim to add a fourth domestic trophy by winning the Amir Cup.

“Achieving three titles in a single season is an exceptional accomplishment that reflects the hard work of both our technical and administrative staff,” Al Shaabi said.

QHF Secretary General Mohammed Jaber Al Mulla added: “Al Arabi deserved the title after a challenging season. Their consistent performance reinforces their position as one of Qatari handball’s powerhouses.”

Al Duhail, runners-up in the Qatar Cup, will seek redemption in the Amir Cup after finishing second in the league, Federation Cup, and Qatar Cup this season.
