With an energetic looking forward line, Michael Laudrup’s side was straight into action with shots from Mohsine Moutaouali and Gonzalo Viera both saved before another attack saw Abderrazak Hamdallah bring the ball down inside the area and fail to beat the keeper whilst in on goal. Hamdallah was again denied in the 11th minute after turning two Kharaitiyat players inside before a smart save from Kharaitiyat’s No.1, Saeid Monfared. The deadlock was finally broken in the 21st minute after Al Rayyan won a free kick 30 yards out. Captain Rodrigo Tabata stepped up and drilled a free kick that was deflected in off the wall past an outstretched goalkeeper, for the Rayyan captain’s third goal of the season.

    WORLD SQUASH UPDATE Issue 83 November / December 2019 FOR ALL WSF REGIONAL & NATIONAL FEDERATIONS cc: WSF Regional Presidents, WSF Commission Members, Stakeholders, PSA members, SPINs, Media, Accredited Products and Companies CAPE TOWN HOSTS SUCCESSFUL AGM The World Squash Federation Annual General Meeting took place on 6 November in Cape Town, South Africa, hosted by Squash South Africa. The WSF Conference, which preceded the AGM, facilitated informal discussions and featured presentations to update the delegates on key initiatives - including the World Squash Officiating, a joint enterprise between the WSF and Professional Squash Association (PSA) to develop an online platform that will provide National Federations with the tools to develop refereeing in their country. The new initiative is scheduled to go live before the end of the year. Additionally James Sandwith, from BEBRAND, presented the findings of a strategic review commissioned by WSF, with the report now available for all member nations to appraise. The 49th Annual General Meeting, attended by representatives of 24 National Federations, saw delegates agree an amendment to the Articles of Association to reduce the risk of inappropriate leadership behavior and to ensure that delegates in attendance at an AGM have a formal connection with their National Federations. There were no changes to the standard Rules of Squash. However, the Rules of Squash 57 were updated, adding an extra ball rebound resilience at 33 degrees C that will help to ensure that the differential between blue and black balls - and their range of bounce - will be more uniform across the brands that are WSF-approved. The WSF Championship Regulations were updated with respect to player eligibility, the use of random draws and a new timeline and procedure for seeding juniors.
