Sharjah Handball Team: A Hub of Excellence and Titles
This continental triumph adds to the team's impressive domestic record, bringing their total tally to 49 titles—an unmatched feat by any other club in the country. A Decade of Dominance on the National Stage Over the past decade, the team has maintained absolute dominance on the domestic scene, winning the lion's share of official tournaments, including the General League Championship, President's Cup, Vice President's Cup, UAE Cup, Federation Cup, UAE Super Cup, and the UAE-Bahrain Super Cup. Not only that, but the team has also proven to be a formidable contender in regional and continental competitions—Gulf, Arab, and Asian—instilling a winning culture that has made its name synonymous with success. An Integrated System of Professional Management, Technical Expertise, and Talent This success can be credited to an integrated system that starts with professional management and extends to experienced technical teams and carefully selected players. The club's handball journey began in the 1970s, laying a solid foundation through a specialised academy for youth development. This has produced a golden generation that carried the torch of achievements, contributing to a long streak of unbeaten seasons and frequent domestic trebles and quadruples. The Result of Long-Term Vision and Strategic Planning His Excellency Mohammed Obaid Al Hassan, Board Member of Sharjah Sports Club and Chairman of the Team Games Department, stated that these achievements are the result of long-term vision and strategic planning, with direct support from His Highness Sheikh Dr Sultan bin Mohammed Al Qasimi, Supreme Council Member and Ruler of Sharjah, along with the efforts of successive club administrations and continuous follow-up by the Sharjah Sports Council, led by His Excellency Issa Hilal Al Hazami. A Defining Moment for Homegrown Players Al Hassan described the team's recent Asian title—which secured their qualification to the upcoming World Championship—as a pivotal moment in the journey of players who grew up in the club from the grassroots level. He noted that since the 2016–2017 season, when the team ended a long title drought by winning the league, the club has managed to increase its championship tally from 16 to 49 titles in just nine years. A Holistic Sports System Focused on Youth Development Eng Suleiman Al Hajri, Board Member of Sharjah Sports Club and Chairman of the Individual Games Department, highlighted that handball has always been a central part of the club's vision since its inception. He explained that the various club boards have built a complete sporting system focused on grassroots development, talent nurturing, and age-group competitions, each administration leaving its mark through technical recruitment and providing an ideal training and development environment. This, he noted, has ensured the continuity of achievements. A Legacy Built on Strong Administrative, Technical and Teamwork Foundations Al Hajri added that Sharjah's excellence in handball is not a recent phenomenon, but rather a long-standing legacy based on solid administrative, technical, and collective foundations. This legacy makes the club a benchmark in how excellence is built and sustained over time. A Carefully Built Base Covering All Age Groups Jassim Mohammed, member of the Team Games Department and handball supervisor at the club, attributed the team's success to a broad base that includes teams across all age groups, supported by dedicated administrative and technical staff. He highlighted the contributions of figures like Mohammed Obaid Al Hassan—who progressed through the ranks as a player, administrator, and now official—as instrumental in embedding a culture of discipline and a winning spirit within the team. Spotting and Nurturing Talent from a Young Age Ali Al Marzouqi, manager of the first handball team, affirmed that the team's excellence stems from its ability to identify and attract talent from an early age, thanks to far-sighted coaches like the veteran Mohammed Mostafa. He pointed out that most of the current squad are products of this vision, which focuses on quality over quantity and provides a nurturing environment for talent to flourish and grow.
