Pakistan is set to host the first-ever U23 World Squash Championship from April 6 to 10, 2025, a landmark event in the world of squash. The championship will feature two tournaments—one for men and one for women—with 32 players competing in each category. The players will not only vie for the prestigious title but also compete for a total prize pool of $60,000 and valuable PSA ranking points.
This groundbreaking event aims to provide a vital platform for young and emerging squash players, bridging the gap between junior-level and senior-level competitions. By introducing this championship, organizers hope to support the development of future squash stars and strengthen the sport’s global presence.
The World Squash Federation (WSF) and the Pakistan Squash Federation (PSF) have both welcomed this initiative, calling it a significant step forward for squash on the international stage. They believe the event will inspire new talent and draw greater attention to the sport.
Karachi, a city with a rich squash history and home to legendary players like Jahangir Khan, has been chosen as the host city. This decision pays tribute to Pakistan’s legacy in squash and highlights its potential to shine once again as a global squash hub. The championship also marks Pakistan’s return to hosting major international squash events after more than two decades, reinforcing its commitment to reviving its reputation in the sport.
The U23 World Squash Championship is not just a sporting event; it’s a celebration of Pakistan’s contributions to squash and a promising step towards nurturing the next generation of squash champions.
