Kuwait – Ahli Online.

Today marks the second day of the 28th Asian Handball Club Championship, hosted by the Kuwait Club at the Sheikh Saad Al-Abdullah Sports Complex in Sabah Al-Salem. Three matches are set to take place today.

The first match kicks off at 4 PM, featuring a clash between Qatar’s Al-Arabi and Saudi Arabia’s Al-Khaleej. Following this, Kuwait will face Bahrain’s Al-Najma at 6 PM, with the day’s competitions concluding at 8 PM with a match between Burqan and UAE’s Sharjah.

Kuwait aims for victory in its second match to move closer to securing a spot among the top four teams, leveraging both home advantage and fan support. Meanwhile, Al-Najma enters the match determined to secure two points, relying on their players’ technical and physical readiness.
