The
title-holders will defend the WSF Women's World Junior Team Squash
Championship on home soil following the World Squash Federation
decision to award Egypt the right to host the 2015 Championships
in Cairo.
Egypt,
winners of the biennial title for the fourth time in a row in Poland in
2013, last hosted the event in 2003.
The
Men's & Women's World Junior Individual Championships precede the
Women's World Junior Team Championship, and while Egypt won the
female individual championship again this year in Namibia, when
Habiba Mohamed triumphed, they will be keen also to regain the
men's crown after the title went to Peru's Diego Elias in
Windhoek.
Welcoming the 2015 Championship to Cairo, subject to facility
finalisation, Egyptian Squash Federation President Assem Khalifa
said: "We are proud of the achievements of all our juniors and it will
be our great pleasure for them to have the opportunity to compete for
the World Junior titles in our own country.
"We
are also delighted to be able to welcome all the best young overseas
players so that they can experience Egyptian hospitality."
WSF
President N Ramachandran
added: "Egypt not only has a rich and long tradition of squash
excellence but this is coupled with their formidable production line of
juniors. We are delighted that they will again be hosting a WSF event
and look forward to an excellent edition."
The
planned dates are 25-30 July 2015 for the World Junior Individuals,
followed by 31 July - 4 August for the Women's Junior Team Championship.
