The Asian Handball Federation (AHF) is pleased to announce that the hosting rights of the 28th AHF Asian Men’s Club League Handball Championship have been awarded to Al-Kuwait Sports Club of the State of Kuwait. The championship is scheduled to take place from 6 to 16 April 2026 in Kuwait City, State of Kuwait.
This will mark the fifth occasion that Kuwait hosts the continental club competition, having previously staged the 3rd, 10th, 21st, and 26th editions.
The championship was initially scheduled to be held in Dammam, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, from 1 to 15 April 2026. However, the Saudi Arabian Handball Federation excused itself from hosting due to unforeseen circumstances.
Beyond the continental title, the competition will also serve as the Asian qualification event for the 19th IHF Men’s Handball Club World Championship, with the champion earning the right to represent Asia in the event which will be held in Egypt in October/November 2026.
