Players fighting for the ball.

KUWAIT CITY, April 20: The First Division Handball League continues today with two exciting fixtures. At 5:00 PM, Al-Tadamon will take on Khaitan at 5:00 pm, followed by a high-stakes showdown between Al-Nasr and Al-Qurain at 6:30 pm.

In the 10th round, Al-Fahaheel secured a 35-27 win over Al-Nasr, while Al-Tadamon claimed a convincing 36-24 victory against Al-Sahel at Sheikh Saad Al-Abdullah Sports Complex.

Current League Standings:

Al-Qadisiyah – 24 points , Al-Qurain – 20 points , Al-Nasr – 20 points, Al-Fahaheel – 14 points, Khaitan – 12 points, Al-Yarmouk – 6 points

Al-Tadamon – 5 points, Al-Sahel – 0 points

The most anticipated match of the evening is undoubtedly between Al-Nasr and Al-Qurain, as both teams are tied on points and are direct competitors for second place. A win would allow either side to close the gap with league leader Al-Qadisiyah to just two points and boost its title hopes as the season progresses.

Following tomorrow’s matches, the league will pause to allow the national team to prepare for the 10th Arab Cup, which will be hosted in Kuwait from May 4 to 12. The First Division League is set to resume on May 14.
