21 March 2016
- Four years after being held in France for the first time, the 2016
WSF Women's World Team Squash Championship will return to the European
country to be staged in Issy-les-Moulineaux and the capital Paris from
28 November to 3 December.
Hosted by the Fédération
Française de Squash, the 20th edition of the World Squash Federation
event will take place at the historic Jeu De Paume and St Cloud Squash
clubs, with final stages being held on an all-glass court at the Palais
Des Sports Robert Charpentier.
"We look forward to welcoming
the world's top women squash players to one of the world's greatest
cities," said FFS President Jacques Fontaine.
"Our women's
team is growing in strength each year and we are hoping that home
advantage will give us the opportunity to improve on our sixth place
finish in two of the last three championships."
The France
team is expected to be led by British Open champion Camille Serme, the
world No.4 who has represented her country in the five previous world
team championships, including the 2012 event in Nimes.
