Defending champions Egypt and losing finalists Malaysia will once again spearhead the 12-team Squash World Cup in Chennai from December 9-14.
All five of World Squash’s Continental Federations will be represented at this year’s Squash World Cup, a mixed-gender competition.
At the last edition, in 2023, Egypt claimed the title in an exciting come-from-behind victory against Malaysia in front of a sell-out crowd at Express Avenue Mall, in Chennaio.
Hosts India, the losing semi-finalists two years ago will join Malaysia, Iran, Japan, Korea and Hong Kong China as the Asian representatives.
Africa will be represented by Egypt and South Africa while Europe by Poland and Switzerland.
Oceania will be represented by Australia and Panamericana by Brazil.
The tournament will see squads of two men and two women playing ties of four matches against each other, with each match being best-of-five games.
The event was relaunched in 2023, with a number of innovative changes brought in, including scoring games to seven and sudden death tiebreaks when scores are at 6-6.
This format will remain place for the fifth edition of the Squash World Cup, with fans praising the fast-paced nature of the scoring and the equal balance between male and female players.
