Translated by Qiyas from النهار — Original source
Al-Arabi defeated Al-Qurain 38-35, Khaitan beat Al-Nasr 31-27, and Yarmouk overcame Al-Sahel 43-32 in matches played the day before yesterday as part of the 2025-2026 Handball Federation Cup, which was postponed due to security incidents in the region. Al-Nahda Al-Salmiya and Qadsia are absent from the tournament after withdrawing from the competition. With these results, Al-Arabi is set to face Kuwait in the quarter-finals on November 11, while Al-Fahaheel will play against Salhiya on the same day. Khaitan will meet Buraqan, and Yarmouk will face Kazma on November 10. The match between Al-Arabi and Al-Qurain was intense, with both teams competing fiercely. Al-Arabi, known as the Green, imposed their dominance thanks to rapid transitions from defense to attack and effective offensive play, particularly from their backcourt players, especially South Korean Kim Jin and Hamad Al-Adwani, who exploited gaps in Al-Qurain’s defense to lead 22-18 at halftime. In the second half, Al-Qurain managed to reorganize their ranks and equalized at 30-30 before Al-Arabi regained control and deservedly secured the victory with a final score of 38-35.
