Olympic Association provides financial support to Squash Association for upcoming Pan Am Squash Championships

The Guyana Olympic Association handed a cheque to the Guyana Squash Association to support its participation in the PanAm Squash Championships (Qualifier for 2023 Pan Am Games) which is scheduled to be held in Cartagena, Colombia from June 4 – 10, 2023. The presentation was made on Thursday 27th April, 2023.

The USA, Canada, Colombia, Mexico and Peru (which now is the home of the world #1 men’s player) will also be participating in the event. If Guyana qualifies, the Pan Am Games would be held later this year in Santiago Chile.

The Olympic Association in its release said President of the Guyana Squash Association, Mr. David Fernandes thanked the Executive Committee members for the support received.

Both Guyana Men’s and Women’s teams dominated the Caribbean Championships in 2022, winning not only the team Championship but also taking home gold in the Men and Women’s doubles. The Squash association also hoped to carry the momentum to better their last showing in the 2019 qualifiers where the Women got 6th (qualifying for the Pan Am Games) and the Men got 10th, falling just short of qualification for the 2019 Pan Am Games.
