Kuwait To Host WSF World Team Championship by Howard Harding
4 September 2013
- Kuwait will host its first World Team championship after being
awarded the rights to hold the 2015 Men's World Team Squash
Championship by the World Squash Federation.
The fast-growing
squash nation has twice hosted the Asian championships and in 1997
first launched the Kuwait Open, a major PSA World Tour event which has
continued to attract the world's leading players. In 2009, Kuwait
staged the PSA World Championship at Green Island Resort.
"Squash has a long and
flourishing history in Kuwait and we have already held major World Tour
events featuring both men and women's championships as well as the
Men's World Individual Championship," said a spokesman for the Kuwait
Squash Federation. "We are now honoured to have been selected to host
the top 32 teams in the world in two years' time."
WSF President N
Ramachandran welcomed Kuwait as a new host of its premier team event:
"Kuwait Squash not only has high quality facilities but now also
abundant experience at staging major squash events, which is why I am
delighted that we have chosen Kuwait to host this Championship. It is a
fantastic, exciting event and will be much anticipated."
Action will be take place at the Late Sheikh / Salem Al-Sabah International Squash Complex from 12-18 December 2015.
