DOHA: Qatar will stage the International Junior Squash Championship 2005 from
February 21, the Qatar Squash Federation (QSF) announced yesterday. The
tournament will end on February 27.
The tournament, which will be contested by players from six countries besides
the hosts, will be staged at the Khalfa Squash Complex, Tournament Director
Khalid Al Obaidly, said during a press conference yesterday.
No prize money is involved but the young players will be aiming to grab trophies
while they enjoy free hospitality from the hosts.
“Players from Pakistan, India, Scotland, Germany, Hong Kong, Kuwait besides our
own boys, will be taking part in the tournament. Boys falling in categories of
under-13 and under-15 will be allowed to take part in the tournament,” Khalid
said.
According to Khalid, each team will be allowed eight players to take part in
‘Individual’ and ‘Team Championship’ categories. Twenty one players will be
competing in the Under-13 category while 25 players will appear in the Under-15
segment of the championships.
The team championship will be played on a round robin format while the singles
event will be played on a knockout basis.
The junior event will be the first major international squash tournament to be
staged in Doha since QSF held the prestigious men’s World Open in December 2004.
The Qatar players had extensive training sessions in South Africa, staying in a
city near Johannesburg, for about two weeks in preparation for the one-week
tournament. The Qatari team is being managed Ahmed Abdullah (coach), Hassan
Jassim (manager) and Alladin Allouba. |
