LONDON: Saudi Arabia will stage a women’s squash tournament later this year with world champion Nour El Sherbini and eight-time world title winner Nicol David appearing in a rare public airing for women’s sport in the kingdom. The Professional Squash Association (PSA) said the PSA Women’s Masters will be staged at Princess Nora bint Abdul Rahman University in Riyadh from October 29 to November 2. “Following recent initiatives from the General Authority of Sports in Saudi Arabia to increase sporting participation and awareness across the country, the $165,000 tournament will play a crucial role in inspiring a new generation of Saudis to become active,” said a PSA statement. PSA Chairman and Saudi businessman Ziad Al-Turki said he hoped the event would encourage more women to take up squash.
