ISLAMABAD, OCT 17 /DNA/ – Pakistan Squash Federation has been putting tremendous efforts for revival of international squash in the country. In the same context, PSF in collaboration with Serena Hotels and Combaxx Sports, has arranged CAS-International Squash Championship for Men & Women at Mushaf Squash Complex, Islamabad.
The tournament will be played from 19-23 Oct, 22. The Men event has a prize purse of US$ 30,000/-, whereas the Women event has US$ 12,000 prize money. The opening ceremony is scheduled on 19 Oct, 22 at 1500 hours whereas the championship finals would be played on 23 Oct, 22.
Apart from Pakistan, a group of 30 foreign players from 14 countries (Germany, Spain, Egypt, Singapore, Austria, Malaysia, Serbia, USA, Hungary, England, Qatar, Czech Republic, Iran & Kuwait) will be playing in Men & Women events.
It must be acknowledged that Pakistan Air Force under the patronage of Air Chief Marshal Zaheer Ahmed Babar Sidhu, has been extending tremendous support to Pakistan Squash Federation for the game’s promotion in the country and we are hopeful for bringing the glories back to the country, which we have enjoyed for many years in the past.
On the other hand – besides Govt support, with keen interest and support of corporate sector, especially Serena Hotels & Combaxx Sports the event is likely to live up to the expectations with their support along with PAF.
Inshallah Pakistan will regain the top slot in the world of sports and Pakistan’s flag fluttering high in the world of sports again.
It is expected that the foreign players will enjoy the traditional hospitality of Pakistan during their stay in the federal capital of Islamabad. Moreover, this arrangement would surely help in raising he soft image of Pakistan over the world of squash.
