The Asian Handball Federation has entrusted Al Rayyan SC in Qatar with hosting the 27th Asian Men's Club League Handball Championship. The event, set to take place from November 11 to 22, will serve as a qualifier for the 2025 IHF Super Globe.
This marks the fifth time Qatar will host the championship, after the 2012, 2013, 2014, and 2016 editions.
The most recent edition of the championship was held in Kuwait last November, where Saudi Arabia's Al Khaleej emerged victorious, defeating Qatar's Al Arabi 35-33 in the final.
Qatar's Al Sadd holds the record for the most titles won in the Asian Club League Handball Championship, with five championships. Al Duhail of Qatar has won the title three times, while El Jaish (Qatar), Kazma SC and Al Qadsia SC (Kuwait), and Al Najma SC (Bahrain) have each won twice. Other single-time champions include Al Rayyan and Al Arabi (Qatar), Al Fahaheel, Al Sulaibikhat, and Kuwait SC (Kuwait), as well as Al Ahli, Mudhar, Al Noor, and Al Khaleej (Saudi Arabia), and Al Sadd SC (Lebanon)
