GB Squash Announced Ahead of LA 2028 Olympic Games

Scottish Squash in partnership with England Squash and Squash Wales, is delighted to announce the formation of GB Squash, to oversee the organisation and preparation of Great Britain’s squash players for the Los Angeles 2028 Olympic Games.

GB Squash has been created specifically to coordinate and manage British representation for squash’s Olympic debut in 2028. The organisation’s sole remit is the selection, preparation and support of athletes competing for Team GB at the Olympic Games.

The formation of GB Squash reflects a collaborative commitment by the three Home Nation governing bodies to provide a clear, focused and unified structure for Olympic competition, while preserving the independence and existing responsibilities of each nation within the wider squash landscape.

In the coming weeks, GB Squash will begin recruitment for its Chair and three independent Committee Members. These roles will play a critical part in establishing strong governance, strategic oversight and support with team selection as preparations begin for LA 2028.

Preparation for LA2028 is gathering pace and with the Olympic Qualification System announced yesterday, GB Squash athletes can now focus on the five possible routes to qualification. Hosted at Universal City Zone, the iconic Universal Studios Lot is one of the world’s most recognisable backgrounds used in countless films and television productions. The Gold medal will be contested by 16 of the world’s highest ranked men and women competing in individual draws.

Speaking on behalf of Scottish Squash, Hakim Din the SSL President said “This is a very exciting time for our sport and I am delighted that alongside England Squash and Squash Wales we have been able to announce the formation of GB Squash for the upcoming LA28 Olympic games.

“GB Squash are genuine medal contenders and in I look forward to watching our Scottish athletes competing to earn a place in the GB Team.”
