The Saudi national youth handball team made history by winning the gold medal at the 3rd Asian Youth Games (Bahrain 2025), defeating Kuwait 29–28 in a thrilling final held at Umm Al Hassam Sports Hall in Manama before a large crowd.
Saudi Arabia led 15–13 at halftime and maintained its narrow advantage throughout the second half to secure the one-goal victory — the nation’s first-ever Asian title in handball. This marks Saudi handball’s first gold medal at an Asian multi-sport event and only its second overall, following a bronze at the 1990 Beijing Asian Games.
With this triumph, the Kingdom’s total medal count at the Games rises to 21, including five gold, four silver, and twelve bronze.
