Asian Games: Qatar to Face Bahrain Tomorrow in Handball Final

Jakarta, August 30 (QNA) - Qatar's men's handball team (bronze medalist) will face Bahrain in the final of the 18th Asian Games held in Indonesia and which will continue until September 2. Qatar team aims to secure their title in the Asian Games, especially as they beat Bahrain 33-31 in the Asian Cup final earlier this year to win the third continental title in a row.
