The performance of both goalkeepers was particularly remarkable. While the Krems goalkeeper Lukas Domevscek was able to parry many throws in crucial phases, HC Hard goalkeeper Golub Doknic also performed strong in the first few minutes when he prevented two degrees from Krems captain Kenan Hasecic. Despite several opportunities in the final section, Hard was unable to equalize and continue to wait for the eighth championship title, the first since 2021.

The HLA championship title for Krems is not only a sporting success, but also strengthens the position of the association in Austrian handball. The Austrian national handball team, which has had a long history and is participating in international competitions, benefits from strengthening handball in the country. The team has already reached a silver medal at the 1938 World Cup and also takes part in future international tournaments, including the World Cup 2025.

Handball has a long tradition in Austria, which began in 1925 with the first international match against Germany, where Austria was directly victorious. In the past few decades, the national team has established itself in international competitions, but the focus is always on the development of young people and the promotion of talents, which can ultimately also find their way to the national team.

Overall, the title win of UHK Krems was an exciting event that underlined the importance of handball in the Austrian sports environment and inspired many fans. The celebrated championship paves the way for future successes and the further development of handball in the region.
