Ahmed Adel "Dola", a player for Hungary's Veszprém, expressed his happiness with the victory over Barcelona in the Handball Club World Cup final.
Hungary's Veszprém won the Handball Club World Cup after defeating Barcelona 42-33.
Ahmed Adel said via On Sport channel: "I am extremely happy to win the tournament. We were lucky in the final unlike last year and managed to achieve victory against the same team 'and we took our right'."
Yahia Al-Deraa, a player for Veszprém, participated in the match and led his team to the title.
Seif Al-Deraa, Yahia's brother, plays for Barcelona.
The Egyptian quartet of Yahia Al-Deraa, Ahmed Hisham "Dodo", Ali Zein, and Ahmed Adel "Dola" are part of the Veszprém team.
Spaniard Javier Pascual coaches Veszprém in addition to the Egyptian national team.
For the second time, Veszprém has managed to win the tournament, as the first time was in 2024 with Yahia Al-Deraa also present, being the only Egyptian in the team.
In 2025, Barcelona won the title led by Seif Al-Deraa.
Seif Al-Deraa lifted the tournament trophy in 2025 although he was not the captain at the time, but his teammates pushed him to do so because the tournament was held in Egypt.
Yahia Al-Deraa will lift the tournament trophy as the captain of Veszprém.
Danish goalkeeper Emil Nielsen of Veszprém received the Man of the Match award.
Nielsen previously played for Barcelona before moving to Veszprém.
Veszprém player Hugo Descat was the top scorer during the match with 10 goals.
Thus, the semi-finalists of the tournament are complete, with Veszprém as champion, then Barcelona winning the silver medal, followed by Al-Ahly securing the bronze, while Zamalek finished fourth.
