ASF nominates Pakistan as host of squash world cup 2015

Asian Squash Federation has nominated Pakistan as the sole contender for hosting Squash World Cup, 2015.

This recommendation is a testimony of the efforts of Pakistan Squash Federation to convince International Squash Bodies to stage International events in Pakistan.

Mr. David Mui, the President, Asian Squash Federation visited Pakistan during the recently concluded 17th Asian Individual Squash Championship, 2013.

He expressed his satisfaction over the meticulous arrangements made for the successful conduct of the Championship.

Pakistan Squash Federation has been able to show the world that Pakistan is a safe country and can play a leading role in the promotion of the game by arranging such international tournaments on regular basis.

AVM Razi Nawab’s election as Vice President ASF has started paying dividends and the Federation has shown its confidence in PSF by giving the 17th Asian Individual Squash Championship to Pakistan.

PSF is striving hard to open up a new chapter of squash revival in the country. Pakistan has been the unchallenged ruler of squash for decades.   It is hoped that conduct of this mega event would open the gates for other sports in general and for the game of squash in particular.

The mega event is likely to attract players from across the globe to compete for the coveted trophy and also help in bringing back the lost glories of Pakistan.

It was since the unfortunate Sri Lankan cricket team debacle of 2009 that shut the doors for big International Sports tournaments in Pakistan.

Occasional International events were held such as 3rd Asian Masters Squash Championship, 2012 in Lahore and 17th Asian Individual Squash Championship, 2013 in Islamabad.

Top ranking players from different countries participated in these tournaments and showed their desire of playing in Pakistan time and again.
