Teams Announced for the 2026 World Squash Junior Championships

    Teams have been announced for this year’s World Squash Junior Team Championships, which will take place as part of the World Squash Junior Individual and Team Championships in Niagara-on-the-Lake, Canada, from 20-31 July.  

    During the World Squash Junior Team Championships, national federation squads of four players aged under 19 compete against each other in individual matches, with the first team to win two matches winning the tie. 

    This year’s championships will see 40 teams compete across 24 nations, with the men’s and women’s events held concurrently following the tournament change in 2024. 

    In the men’s event, 24 teams are set to compete, with two additional teams participating in this championship from last year in Cairo, Egypt. 

    In the women’s competition, there will also be 16 teams that feature, with the same number of participating federations as the 2025 championships. 

    This year, 16 federations will send both a men’s and women’s team, including hosts Canada and defending men’s and women’s champions Egypt. 

    Nigeria’s women will make their event debut, while their men’s team will compete for the first time since 1996. 

    Other federations returning after a long absence include Mexico, who have a men’s team competing for the first time since 2010, and the Netherlands, who will return to the men’s team championship for the first time since 2022.
