Mostafa Asal & Amina Orfi Crowned 2026 PSA World Squash Champions

Egypt celebrated a memorable night at Golf Central Palm Hills in Giza as home favourites Mostafa Asal and Amina Orfi were crowned 2026 PSA World Squash Champions after defeating fellow Egyptians Youssef Ibrahim and Nour El Sherbini in two compelling finals on one of the sport’s grandest stages.

For Mostafa Asal, it was a successful title defence and further confirmation of his authority at the top of the men’s game. The World No.1 produced a dominant display against the seventh seed Ibrahim, controlling proceedings from the outset with relentless pace and precision to secure an emphatic 11-4 11-1 12-10 victory.

Ibrahim had arrived in his first PSA World Squash Championship final in remarkable fashion, having ousted both Paul Coll and Karim Abdel Gawad in gruelling earlier rounds despite an impending shoulder operation scheduled immediately following the event. Yet the final proved a bridge too far. Asal’s accuracy into the back corners and his ability to take the ball early denied Ibrahim the time he needed to construct rallies, and the contest was largely dictated by the defending champion’s tempo.

The victory gives Asal a second PSA World Squash Championship crown and marks the 29th PSA World Squash Tour title of his career, further strengthening his growing legacy in the modern era of the sport.

If the men’s final underlined control, the women’s final delivered drama of the highest order. Eighteen-year-old Amina Orfi produced a performance for the ages to deny El Sherbini a record-breaking ninth world title, prevailing 6-11 11-6 11-9 7-11 14-12 after a staggering 106 minutes.

The encounter is now recorded as the longest women’s World Squash Championship match in the point-a-rally era and ranks among the longest professional women’s matches ever played. Orfi’s composure in the closing stages belied her age as she repeatedly matched El Sherbini’s experience and resilience in a contest of extraordinary intensity.

In doing so, Orfi becomes the youngest women’s World Squash Champion in history at 18 years and 10 months, surpassing the very player she defeated to achieve the feat. She also makes history as the first woman to hold both the World Junior and PSA World Championship titles simultaneously.

Remarkably, the triumph came just 24 hours after Orfi had endured a 103-minute semi-final against World No.1 Hania El Hammamy, underlining both her physical endurance and mental strength across the closing stages of the tournament.

Together, Mostafa Asal and Amina Orfi ensured a historic home double for Egypt, delivering a finals night in Giza that will be remembered as one of the most significant in PSA World Squash Championship history.

The 2026 CIB Palm Hills PSA World Squash Championships were staged at the PGC Golf Central Mall in Giza, Egypt from the 8th to 16th May.

UNSQUASHABLE player Miguel Rodriguez saw his campaign at the 2026 CIB Palm Hills PSA World Squash Championships brought to a premature end after a physically demanding five-game battle with fifth seed Joel Makin ended in retirement during their second-round encounter in Cairo.

Miguel had fought his way impressively back into the contest after dropping the opening two games 11-5 11-7, using his trademark variation and sharp movement to disrupt Makin’s rhythm and level the match at two games apiece with 11-3 11-6 responses. The momentum had shifted decisively in the Colombian’s favour, and the rallies were beginning to stretch the Welshman into uncomfortable territory.

However, with the match finely balanced, Miguel sustained a heavy blow to his calf early in the fifth game which requiring on-court treatment. After a brief resumption, the contest was brought to a premature end at 71 minutes, with Miguel forced to concede at 8-1 in the decider despite his efforts to continue.

Up to that point, the contest had evolved into a fascinating tactical duel. Makin’s early control through tight, disciplined length had kept Miguel pinned deep in the court, limiting his opportunities to attack. Yet as the match progressed, the Colombian’s experience and creativity began to surface. By altering the height and pace of the rallies, Miguel drew errors from the Welshman and gradually imposed his own rhythm on proceedings.

The third and fourth games showcased Miguel at his inventive best, repeatedly wrong-footing Makin with deft touches at the front and clever use of angles from the middle of the court. It was a reminder of why the Colombian remains one of the most dangerous and unpredictable competitors on the PSA World Squash Tour.

Ultimately, the enforced retirement denied Miguel the opportunity to complete what had been a stirring comeback, but his resilience and quality across the middle phase of the match left a lasting impression.

Despite the disappointing conclusion, Miguel’s performance once again underlined his enduring ability to challenge the world’s leading players on the sport’s biggest stage.

UNSQUASHABLE player Miguel Rodriguez delivered a controlled and authoritative performance to progress safely through the opening round of the 2926 PSA World Squash Championships with a straight-games victory over compatriot Matias Knudsen in Cairo.

Competing at the sport’s most prestigious individual event in Cairo, Miguel showcased his vast experience and tactical discipline to secure an emphatic 11-5 11-6 11-4 win in 44 minutes, rarely allowing his younger opponent the opportunity to settle into the contest.

From the outset, the Colombian No.1 established firm control of the rallies through accurate length and intelligent variation. Dominating the central area of the court, Miguel repeatedly manoeuvred Knudsen into the back corners before capitalising on any loose replies with deft touches at the front. His ability to change pace and height with subtlety ensured that the tempo of the match remained entirely on his terms.

The opening game set the tone, as Miguel’s sharp movement and precise shot selection denied Knudsen any rhythm. Despite moments of attacking intent from his compatriot, Miguel’s composure and positional awareness enabled him to close out the game comfortably.

Knudsen attempted to increase the intensity in the second, extending rallies in an effort to disrupt Miguel’s fluency. However, the experienced campaigner responded with patience and clarity of decision-making, absorbing pressure before accelerating play at the right moments to edge further ahead.

By the third game, Miguel’s authority was unmistakable. Mixing clever drops with disciplined length, he controlled both the physical and tactical exchanges, steadily pulling clear to seal the match with clinical efficiency.

While the scoreline reflected a routine victory, the performance underlined Miguel’s enduring quality on the PSA World Squash Tour. His balance of control, creativity and match management was evident throughout, providing an ideal start to his campaign at the World Championships as he looks to build momentum in Cairo.

UNSQUASHABLE players Iván Pérez and Yannick Wilhelmi produced commendable performances in their opening-round matches at the PSA World Squash Championships, before being edged out by Swiss No.1 Dimitri Steinmann and Malaysian No.1 Eain Yow Ng, respectively.

Iván Pérez produced a courageous and high-quality display before bowing out in a marathon five-game battle with Switzerland’s Dimitri Steinmann.

In a gripping encounter lasting 102 minutes, Iván pushed the No.17 seed to the limit before narrowly succumbing 9-11 11-4 15-13 7-11 11-6 in a match defined by relentless intensity, long rallies and fluctuating momentum.

The Spaniard made an assured start, settling quickly into the pace of the court and dictating early exchanges with disciplined length and confident movement into the front corners. His composure under pressure was evident as he edged a tight opening game 11-9, repeatedly wrong-footing Steinmann with clever changes of angle.

Steinmann responded emphatically in the second, raising the tempo and finding greater accuracy to level the contest. Yet it was the third game that proved pivotal. Both players traded extended rallies and game balls in a tense tie-break that tested physical and mental reserves alike. Iván showed admirable resilience, but the Swiss player eventually edged it 15-13 to move ahead for the first time.

Rather than fade, Iván regrouped impressively in the fourth. Reasserting control of the T, he varied the height and pace of the rallies intelligently, disrupting Steinmann’s rhythm and deservedly forcing a decider with an assured 11-7 response.

After more than 80 minutes of attritional squash, the fifth game became a test of endurance. Pérez continued to battle for every rally, but Steinmann’s experience at this level began to tell as the match entered its final phase. The Swiss player edged clear through marginal gains in length and positioning to close out the contest 11-6.

Although the result did not fall in his favour, Iván’s performance was rich in quality and intent. His tactical discipline, movement and willingness to sustain pressure throughout a punishing encounter highlighted his growing maturity on the PSA World Squash Tour. Against a seeded opponent in one of the most demanding matches of the opening round, the UNSQUASHABLE player demonstrated that he can compete toe-to-toe at the highest level of the sport.

Yannick Wilhelmi delivered a spirited and technically assured performance despite exiting in straight games to Malaysia’s Eain Yow Ng.

The Swiss No.3 was beaten 11-7 11-5 12-10 in a 50-minute contest, yet the scoreline only partially reflected the quality of Yannick’s work against the No.18 seed on one of the sport’s biggest stages.

Yannick settled quickly into the pace of the match, using disciplined length and sharp movement to prevent Ng from dictating freely in the early exchanges. The Malaysian’s accuracy under pressure ultimately proved decisive in the opening game, but the rallies were hard-fought, with the Swiss player matching his opponent through extended phases of attritional play.

The second game saw Ng raise the tempo and take the ball earlier, forcing Yannick into deeper defensive positions. Despite this, the Swiss No.3 continued to show composure, constructing rallies patiently and looking for opportunities to counter-attack from the front of the court.

It was in the third game that Yannick’s resistance was most evident. Refusing to concede ground, he pushed Ng into a tense finish by maintaining relentless pressure through tight length and intelligent variation. From 9-9, the margins were minimal, but the Malaysian’s experience in closing out tight situations allowed him to edge the decisive points 12-10.

Although the match ended in three games, Yannick’s performance underlined his ability to compete at World Championship level. His court awareness, tactical discipline and sustained intensity throughout the contest earned him respect on court and demonstrated clear progress in his development on the PSA World Squash Tour.

The Professional Squash Association (PSA) have unveiled the draws for the 2026 PSA World Squash Championships with World No.1s Mostafa Asal and Hania El Hammamy leading the fields into the sport’s most prestigious event. While Asal returns in pursuit of back-to-back world titles, El Hammamy arrives with her sights firmly set on capturing the one major honour that has so far eluded her.

This year’s championships will be staged on Egyptian soil, with matches taking place at Palm Hills Club and PGC Golf Central Mall between the 8th and 16th May, and with close to $1.5 million in prize money on offer, the event once again represents the pinnacle of the Professional Squash Association World Tour.

In the men’s draw, top seed Asal will attempt to become only the third player since 1996 to successfully defend the world crown. The Egyptian produced a historic run to the title last year, lifting the trophy without dropping a single game - a feat not achieved since Jahangir Khan in 1988. That dominance has continued throughout the current campaign, with Asal claiming five of the season’s six major PSA World Squash Tour titles and maintaining an extraordinary unbeaten run in games stretching back to October 2025. Competing on home soil, he will be widely regarded as the man to beat.

World No.2 Paul Coll remains Asal’s closest challenger. The pair have contested four major finals this squash season, with Coll’s sole victory coming at the Qatar Squash Classic. The New Zealander has rediscovered strong form in recent months, securing titles at both the New Zealand Squash Open and the Squash Australian Open during the Oceania swing. Having previously finished runner-up at the World Squash Championships, Coll will be targeting a breakthrough on the biggest stage.

Former World Squash Champions Diego Elias and Karim Gawad occupy the No.3 and No.4 seeding positions respectively. Elias, who produced a memorable title-winning run in 2024, remains a formidable contender despite an injury-interrupted season. Drawn in the same half as Asal, a potential semi-final clash between the two would be one of the standout fixtures of the tournament. Gawad, meanwhile, continues to demonstrate his enduring class, having returned to the world’s top four. The 2016 Men's World Squash Champion has long been one of the game’s most gifted players and will be particularly dangerous in front of a home crowd.

Further depth in the men’s field comes from the likes of Joel Makin, Victor Crouin, Youssef Ibrahim and Mohamad Zakaria, all of whom are capable of troubling the leading seeds and mounting deep runs.

In the women’s event, Hania El Hammamy heads the draw as she looks to convert her outstanding consistency into a maiden PSA World Squash Championship title. The Egyptian has enjoyed an exceptional season, collecting four major PSA World Squash Tour titles including a dramatic triumph at the Tournament of Champions. Despite her success, the World Squash Championships crown remains the ultimate prize she is yet to secure, and she will be eager to capitalise on home advantage.

Standing in her way is eight-time Women's World Squash Champion Nour ElSherbini, who is seeded second. ElSherbini’s victory over El Hammamy in last year’s final saw her equal the record of Nicol David, and another triumph would see her claim the outright record. After a relatively quiet start to the campaign, the Egyptian has returned to top form with titles at the Hong Kong Squash Open, Windy City Squash Open and Texas Squash Open, underlining her status as the sport’s most formidable competitor on this stage.

World No.3 Amina Orfi will be aiming to translate her prodigious talent into a breakthrough performance at the World Squash Championships. Despite her high seeding in recent editions, she has yet to progress beyond the third round and will be determined to make a deeper impact this time. A potential meeting with El Hammamy in the latter stages would be a compelling encounter, given their recent rivalry.

American No.1 Olivia Weaver, seeded fourth, continues her pursuit of a first major title. Having reached multiple high-profile finals this season, Weaver has demonstrated clear progress and will be targeting a historic run to become the first American finalist in over two decades.

Beyond the top seeds, the women’s draw features several dangerous contenders. Recent Australian Squash Open Champion Sivasangari Subramaniam has already proven capable of defeating the very best, while Satomi Watanabe has also recorded notable wins over leading players this season. Rising Egyptian talent Fayrouz Aboelkheir and England’s Georgina Kennedy complete a highly competitive top eight.

With the world’s leading players converging in Giza and the sport’s most coveted title at stake, the 2026 PSA World Squash Championships promise to deliver another compelling chapter at the very highest level of professional squash.

UNSQUASHABLE will be represented at the 2026 PSA World Squash Championships by Miguel Rodriguez Iker Pajares Bernabeu and Yannick Wilhelmi.

The Professional Squash Association (PSA) has announced that the 2026 World Squash Championships will return to Egypt, with Palm Hills Sports Club in Giza set to host the sport’s flagship event from the 8th to 16th May 2026. A full field of 128 of the world’s leading players will descend on the iconic venue to compete for squash’s most coveted individual honour.

Palm Hills is no stranger to the world squash championship stage, having hosted matches during the 2023–24 edition. That season saw Peru’s Diego Elías lift the men’s crown, while Egypt’s Nouran Gohar claimed the women’s title. Whilst Nouran Gohar will not feature this time following her announcement of pregnancy earlier this year, Diego Elías is expected to return as he looks to reclaim the title from reigning world champion and current men’s World No.1 Mostafa Asal, who triumphed in Chicago.

On the women’s side, Nour ElSherbini will arrive as the defending champion and with history firmly in her sights. The Egyptian great is bidding for an unprecedented ninth World Championship title, a landmark achievement that would see her move clear of Malaysian legend Nicol David at the top of the all-time winners’ list.

Delivered by iEvents in partnership with Palm Hills Sports Club, the 2025–26 PSA World Squash Championships will feature total player compensation of $1.35 million. Qualification pathways will also play a key role, with five regional qualifying tournaments scheduled across Africa, Asia, Europe, Oceania and Pan-America in early 2026, offering players from around the world the chance to earn a place alongside the sport’s elite on squash’s biggest stage.
