Squash is a popular sport in Egypt.
As of 2018, Egypt was a squash superpower.[1] It has been producing top players since the 1930s, and it is believed that former president Hosni Mubarak, a keen player himself, gave it a major boost in the 1990s.[2] It has also been said that the current success is the result of an investment in the sport of Egyptian society as a whole.[3]
