The qualification criteria for the 2023-24 PSA World Championships has been announced, with five tournaments set to take place across Oceania, Europe, Asia, Pan America and Africa during April and May.
\nThe PSA World Championships would bring 128 of the world\u2019s best male and female squash players to Egypt between May 9-17, 2024.
\nOf the 64 spots in the men\u2019s and women\u2019s draws, 57 of them would be taken up by the highest ranked players at the time of entries closing. The reigning men\u2019s and women\u2019s World Junior Champions would also qualify, with one further spot going to wildcards selected by the PSA World Championships Tournament Promoter. The final five spots would go to the winners of the following PSA World Championship Qualifying Events: April 4-7 Oceania: Gold Coast, Australia (Carrara Squash Centre); April 10-13 Europe: Nantes, France (La Maison du Squash); April 13-16 Africa: Cairo, Egypt (Black Ball Sporting Club); April 18-21 Asia: Seremban, Malaysia (S2 Sports Complex); April 18-21 Pan America: Columbia, United States (Play Squash Academy).<\/p>\n
Each World Championship qualifying event would feature a 16-man and 16-woman draw, with prize money and ranking points available. Where the winner of the tournament qualifies for the PSA World Championships as a result of their own ranking, that spot would be given to the runner-up. \u201cThe PSA World Championships represents the pinnacle of global squash and it was important for us to give our players around the world the best possible chance of qualifying for the tournament,\u201d said PSA Head of Tour Claudia Schurmann.
\n\u201cWe\u2019ve chosen key territories across several continents to host the tournaments and I\u2019d like to thank our fantastic tournament promoters for their support and hard work in putting these tournaments on.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
