Kuwait Crowned Champion of the 16th Handball Premier League Title

The Kuwait Club men’s handball team was crowned champion of the 2025–2026 Kuwaiti Premier Handball League, having already secured the title a week earlier in the penultimate round. The official coronation took place after the final round, when they defeated Al-Burqan 36–21. This marks the club’s 16th league title, reinforcing its status as the most successful team in the competition’s history, with five more titles than its closest rival, Al-Salmiya Club, which has 11. The victory also extends Kuwait Club’s record of 14 consecutive titles.

Kuwait Club secured superiority over Al-Burqan in their final-round encounter, winning by a margin of 15 goals. Despite Al-Burqan’s efforts, led by national coach Yaqoub Al-Mousawi, to close the gap, the experience of Kuwait Club’s players prevented any comeback.

In other matches on the final day, Kazma Club defeated Al-Nasr 38–26.

At the end of the league, Kuwait Club topped the table with 25 points, followed by Al-Burqan in second place with 19 points, and Kazma Club in third with 16 points. Al-Arabi finished fourth with the same number of points as Kazma but ahead on goal difference. Al-Shabab Al-Kuwaiti (Al-Salibikhaat) came fifth with 8 points, while Al-Nasr finished sixth and last with just 2 points.

Kuwait Club and Al-Burqan officially qualified for the Asian Handball Champions League, having secured first and second place in the league standings.
