How Palm Hills Is Becoming a Home for World-Class Squash in Egypt

What does Egypt's grip on world squash actually look like up close? SceneSports went inside the CIB Palm Hills PSA World Championships to find out. In conversation with with the players - including legends Karim AbdelGawad, Mostafa Asal, and Nour ElSherbini - and the people behind Egyptian squash to understand what really drives this country's dominance, the answer kept coming back to one thing: infrastructure. World-class courts, academies built to develop talent from the ground up, and an environment designed for the sport to grow, not just perform. Palm Hills has been laying that foundation for years, and it's central to why Egypt doesn't just produce champions by chance - it's built to produce them. Egypt has held an iron grip on squash for decades, and when the CIB Palm Hills PSA World Championships returned home, the trophy came right back with it. With squash heading to the Los Angeles 2028 Olympics, the world is watching closer than ever.
