MUSCAT, NOV 11
Oman Club retained the Oman Handball Super Cup title after defeating Al Amerat 31-20 in the sixth edition final at the main hall of Sultan Qaboos Sports Complex in Bausher on Wednesday night.
The victory saw Oman Club claim their fourth Super Cup and third consecutive crown, strengthening their position as the most successful club in the competition's history.
The Muscat-based side had previously lifted the trophy in the 2017-18, 2024-25 and 2025-26 seasons.
The final was held under the auspices of Saif bin Hilal al Hosni, General Manager of Microsoft in Oman and Bahrain.
The final brought together two ambitious sides, with Oman Club seeking to extend their dominance in the competition and Al Amerat aiming to make history by claiming their first-ever Super Cup title.
Both teams started with an evenly balanced contest, exchanging attacks and goals throughout the opening period. The score remained tight until the closing seconds, when Hassan al Balushi scored to give Oman Club a narrow 15-14 lead at half-time.
Oman Club stepped up their performance in the second half, displaying greater attacking efficiency and defensive discipline to widen the gap. Despite several attempts by Al Amerat to fight their way back into the match, the defending champions maintained their dominance and eventually sealed a 31-20 victory.

Oman Club captain Azzan bin Ali al Azzan received the Super Cup trophy from the patron of the ceremony, Saif bin Hilal al Hosni, following the final.
Al Amerat, meanwhile, missed out on their first Super Cup title despite reaching the final following an impressive 30-21 victory over Nizwa in the semifinals.
Oman Club had booked their place in the decider after edging Seeb 26-25 in a penalty shoot-out following a 23-23 draw in regulation time.
The sixth edition of the Super Cup marked the opening of the 2026-27 men's handball season in Oman, ahead of the First Division League and Federation Cup competitions.
The final was officiated by Omani referees Omar bin Said al Shuhi and Khamis bin Suhaim al Wahibi, who received their international refereeing badges from the International Handball Federation in 2022 and have since officiated at several world championships.
