Egypt's junior squash teams continued the nation's reign over the sport, securing both the boys' and girls' titles at the Junior World Squash Championships, held at Black Ball Sporting Club in New Cairo from July 12 to early August.
Minister of Youth and Sports Ashraf Sobhi attended the finals alongside Evyenia Sidereas, Chargé d'Affaires of the U.S. Embassy in Cairo; Zena Wooldridge, President of the World Squash Federation; and Amna Al-Trabulsi, President of the Egyptian Squash Federation.
Speaking after the event, Minister Sobhi expressed pride in the young athletes' achievements, attributing the success to the unwavering support of President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi for Egypt's sports sector. 'This double world championship victory reflects the strategic planning of Egypt's squash system and its enduring global leadership across generations,' Sobhi said, adding that the triumph bolsters Egypt's ambitions for the sport at the Los Angeles 2028 Olympic Games.
The girls' team clinched their title after defeating Hong Kong 2–0 in the final, with the squad featuring Amina Arfi, Jana Galal, Nadine El-Hamamy, and Souhaila Hazem.
The boys' team sealed their victory by overcoming the United States 2–0 in their final match. Representing Egypt were Mohamed Zakaria, Marwan Asal, Eyad Dawood, and Adam Hawel.
Sobhi noted that squash has become one of Egypt's most prominent sports at all age levels, with national teams consistently dominating global competitions. 'The Pharaohs have left their mark on the sport, claiming victory after victory and raising the Egyptian flag in every arena,' he added.
Egypt's clean sweep at the championships reaffirms its unmatched status in world squash, with both junior teams adding yet another chapter to the nation's storied history in the sport.

Tottenham captain Son Heung-min to leave English Premier League club - World
After 10 years with Tottenham Hotspur, captain Son Heung-min announced on Saturday that he plans to leave the English Premier League club. At a media conference in Seoul, Son, appearing at times to be holding back tears, said his decision to leave the Spurs was 'the most difficult' of his career and said the club was supporting him as he looks to move on to another team. Spurs will face Newcastle United in a preseason friendly on Sunday in Seoul in what could the final match of Son's time at Spurs. 'Before we start the press conference, I just want to share the information that I have decided to leave this club in this summer,' Son said. 'Respectfully, this club is helping me to my decisions. So I just wanted to share this information before we start the conference.' 'I came to North London as a kid, 23 years old, very young age, a young boy came to London who even didn't speak English and leaving this club as a grown man is a very, very proud moment.' He continued his tribute by thanking Tottenham fans. 'So I just want to say thank you to all of the Spurs fans that gave me so much love and felt like it was my home,' he said. 'It was one of the toughest decisions I ever made. So I hope the goodbye is always also in a good timing you know. But I think it's the right time to make this decision.' Son was asked in Korean on his future playing plans, and he replied: 'I don't think I have an answer yet.' He also confirmed in Korean that he would play for South Korea at the World Cup next year in North America. In May, Son finally won his first title in Europe as Tottenham defeated Manchester United in the Europa League final. 'I felt the pressure. I wanted it so badly,' Son said after that match. 'The last seven days, I was dreaming about this game every single day. It finally happened, and I can sleep easy now.' The 33-year-old Son has been one of the biggest stars of the Premier League, scoring 173 goals in 454 competitive appearances for Tottenham. He was made captain in 2023 by former head coach Ange Postecoglou and helped the club lift its Europa League title, a first trophy since 2008. Son added that the team's recent success was a factor: ' Winning the Europa League made me feel I had achieved everything I could here. I need a new environment for a fresh challenge.' Son has been heavily linked with a move to the United States and there is reported interest from Saudi Arabian clubs. Thomas Frank succeeded Postecoglou in June and the Danish coach paid tribute to Son on Saturday. 'He is truly a Spurs legend in every aspect,' Frank said. 'One of the best players to ever play in the Premier League, in my opinion, as a winger. I think it is probably the perfect timing, going out on a high.' Later in the media conference, Son reiterated that he has not decided on where he will play next. But he said next year's World Cup was his No. 1 priority for his home country. 'I don't think I have an answer yet,' he said of his future playing choices. 'I think I can share more about my future after tomorrow's game once things become more certain. 'My most important priority right now is the World Cup. It's likely to be my last World Cup and I want to give everything I have in that environment . . . I want to be able to play football happily, which I think will play the biggest role in my future decision-making. I am still trying to organize my thoughts around that.'
