Australia To Host 2016 World Softball Doubles Championships by Howard Harding 22 December 2015 -
Australia will host the 2016 World International Doubles Squash
Championships after winning the rights from the World Squash Federation.
The championships, featuring Men's, Women's and Mixed events, will take place at the Darwin Squash Centre from 15-19 August.
The hosts will defend both the Men's and Mixed gold medals - and seek
to reclaim the Women's title lost to New Zealand in the previous
championships.
The 2016 championships will provide ideal preparation for the 2018
Commonwealth Games in the Gold Coast, as well as the 2019 Pan-American
Games. Australia were also double Doubles gold medallists in the 2014
Commonwealth Games in Scotland.
Squash Australia CEO Richard Vaughan (pictured above) commented:
"Squash Australia are delighted to be welcoming the World Doubles
Championships to Darwin. Australia has a proud Doubles history and once
again we will be hoping to challenge for medals.
"The new Darwin Squash Centre will be a great venue, close to the
airport and as Darwin is only a few hours flight from Asian hub
Singapore we would be hopeful of getting many nations competing."
