Yahia Khaled wins French Super Cup with Paris Saint-Germain

Yahia Khaled, the Egypt handball international, has won the French Super Cup with Paris Saint-Germain after his side edged Montpellier 21-20 in a closely fought final.

The Paris-based team secured the trophy in a narrow victory, reclaiming a title that had been absent from their honours for the past two seasons. The success is the sixth French Super Cup triumph in Paris Saint-Germain’s history.

Khaled played a significant role throughout the match, scoring two goals and creating seven more for his team-mates. His contribution helped Paris Saint-Germain maintain their advantage in a contest decided by a single goal.

The result completes a successful start to Khaled’s third season with the French club. He joined Paris Saint-Germain from Veszprem in the summer of 2024 and has now added the French Super Cup to his achievements with the side.

The match was also watched from the stands by Khaled Fathy, president of the Egyptian Handball Federation and Yahia Khaled’s father, who attended to support his son.

Paris Saint-Germain’s victory over Montpellier ensured the club returned to the top of the French Super Cup competition after a two-season absence. The 21-20 scoreline reflected the tight nature of the final, with neither side able to establish a decisive lead.

For Khaled, the occasion provided an opportunity to make an impact in a major domestic final during his third campaign in Paris. His two goals and seven assists were central to the team’s success as they secured their sixth title in the competition.

The trophy also marked an important moment for Paris Saint-Germain, who had been unable to retain the French Super Cup during the previous two seasons. Their win against Montpellier restored the club to the summit of the competition and added another piece of silverware to their history.

Khaled’s performance was particularly notable for the influence he had beyond his own scoring. While he found the net twice, his seven assists underlined his role in helping Paris Saint-Germain create the goals that ultimately separated the teams.

With the final settled by a one-goal margin, every contribution carried added importance. Khaled’s involvement, combined with the team’s ability to hold on for a 21-20 victory, allowed Paris Saint-Germain to celebrate another French Super Cup success.

The result means the Egypt international begins his third season with the club as a French Super Cup winner, while Paris Saint-Germain can now look back on six victories in the competition.
