Qatar Junior Open Squash Championship Gets Underway Tuesday

Doha:  The 2026 Qatar Junior Open Squash Championship will get underway on Tuesday at the Khalifa International Tennis and Squash Complex, bringing together promising young players from Qatar and several other countries.

Organized by the Qatar Squash Federation under the umbrella of the Asian Squash Federation, the three-day championship will feature competitions across four age categories: Under-11, Under-13, Under-15 and Under-17.

Championship Director Saad Al Muhannadi said the tournament forms part of the Qatar Squash Federation’s efforts to develop young Qatari players by providing them with greater competitive experience.

“We are keen to give our players as much competitive exposure as possible, as their development requires regular match play and the opportunity to compete against opponents of different levels and playing styles,” Al Muhannadi said.

He added that the Federation’s objectives extend beyond achieving results in a single tournament, with the focus on developing a new generation of players capable of progressing, competing at a high level and representing Qatar in future events.

Al Muhannadi also highlighted the championship’s role in supporting the growth of squash and expanding the sport’s participation base in Qatar.
