    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.

    Mohammed Albaker dazzles on Verona to claim his first Big Tour title of the season PAGE 15 SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 8, 2020 Numero Uno Ali Farag lifts Qatar Classic trophy for a second time Egyptian becomes only the fourth man to win the title twice TRIBUNE NEWS NETWORK DOHA LIVING up to his new billing as the World No.1, Egyptian Ali Farag retained his Qa- tar Classic 2020 squash title in style as he accounted for World No.5 Paul Coll of New Zealand in the final of the PSA World Tour Platinum tourna- ment on Saturday evening. Farag, 28, dropped a game but had no difficulty in van- quishing Coll 11-8, 6-11, 11-9, 11-9 in 61 minutes to lift his 21st PSA title at the Khalifa In- ternational Tennis & Squash Complex. The triumph also saw Far- ag extend his domination over Coll to 13 matches. When I was younger, I used to watch the Qatar Classic and see all the great names of our sport lifting that trophy and I could only imagine standing there one day. To do it twice is an amazing feeling. Al Farag HE Sheikh Joaan bin Hamad Al Thani, President, Qatar Olympic Committee and Nasser Al Khelaifi, President of Qatar Tennis, Squash and Badminton Federation, applaud as Ali Farag lifts the Qatar Classic trophy soon after the prize distribution at the Khalifa International Tennis & Squash Complex on Saturday. Just as he went about business, Farag’s retrieval skills and graceful movement around court was breathtak- ing. He picked almost all that Coll could throw at him and counter-attacked superbly.

    IInnssttaanntt UUppddaattee ISSUE 44 MAY/JUNE 2013 To: ALL WSF MEMBER NATIONAL FEDERATIONS cc: WSF Regional Vice-Presidents, WSF Committee Members, WSA, PSA, Accredited Companies ST PETERSBURG AWAITS May 29 is a critical date for squash. Last December we presented our case to the IOC’s Programme Commission and this day in May we shall do so to the IOC Executive Board in St Petersburg, Russia, along with the other shortlisted sports for the place on the programme of the 2020 Olympic Games. The presentation group will be led by WSF President Ramachandran and features our two world champions Nicol David and Ramy Ashour, whose passion and charisma are sure to impress the IOC President Jacques Rogge and his fourteen IOC Board colleagues. The bid film will be shown – it features the two players and has already been viewed nearly 110,000 times, along with the video giving a snapshot of the 185 countries that play squash (you can see both at http://www.worldsquash.org/ws/?p=10564) – along with a new film, that is being finished featuring innovation, broadcast and presentation. The spoken presentations will be accompanied by over 70 great slides illustrating the points made. What happens next is not confirmed. Originally it was stated that one sport would be recommended for ratification by the full IOC membership but indications now are that a few sports may be put forward for the final vote. That will be made clear on the evening of 29th May and we must hope that we are there for the final decision in Buenos Aires on 8th September.
