Pakistan International Squash Tournament to start on 15th

Author: Staff Report

The Pakistan Squash Federation (PSF) in collaboration with Pakistan Air Force and Serena Hotels will be organising Serena Hotels-Huawei Pakistan International Squash Tournaments for Men and Women on December 15-19 at Mushaf Squash Complex, Islamabad.

The men event has a prize money of $ 20,000, whereas women event has $12,000/- as prize money. Besides Pakistan, a large number of international men and women squash players from Austria, Egypt, Germany, Hong Kong, Jordon, Malaysia, Portugal, Spain, Switzerland and US have confirmed their participation.

Sports are an important medium for bringing people together and participation in sports helps in improving leadership, teamwork and communication skills along with promoting a healthier lifestyle and presenting a positive image of the country internationally. The Serena Hotels decided five years ago to reclaim the legacy of squash in Pakistan under its Sports Diplomacy Initiative. As part of the initiative, they have been extending their tremendous sponsorship to Pakistan Squash Federation for the conduct of international squash events. Their support to PSF has always been appreciated at all levels.

It is hoped that with the presence of world ranking players from various parts of the world, the squash enthusiasts will get an opportunity to witness some thrilling squash during their stay in Islamabad.
