After all the drama of the individual championships, it’s straight back to action for the team events as we enter the second stage of the 2024 WSF World Junior Squash Championships.
This year’s team championships represent a moment in squash history, being the first time the men’s and women’s events have been held concurrently.
A total of 42 teams are taking part in the biggest ever championships, with 25 in the men’s event and 17 in the women’s, including defending women’s champions Egypt and defending men’s champions England.
In the men’s event, there are eight pools, with the top two from each pool moving on to the last 16.
In the women’s event, there are four pools, with the top two from each pool moving on to the quarter-finals.
During the pools stage, all three rubbers will be played. For the knockout stages, if a tie reaches 2-0 the two teams have the option of playing or declining to play the third rubber.
Play begins at 10:00 (GMT-5) with all the action available to view live and free via WORLDSQUASH.TV.
