Statement from the World Squash Federation December 1, 2015
This morning a few nations have banded
together and withdrawn from the WSF Men’s World Team Championship due
to their unease about travelling to participate in the event in Cairo.
This is both disappointing and a little
difficult to understand as there has been no security threat there,
unlike for the people of other nations tragically targeted by
extremists.
Cairo is a city where it is ‘business as
usual’, though to add reassurance for nations, a full range of
protection measures are in place managed by the Egyptian Government, as
reported to participating nations.
The Championship is proceeding and the
Egyptian Squash Federation have a great welcome in place for
participating teams and look forward to seeing you there next week.
An updated draw and handbook will be provided shortly.
