World Team Squash Championship: We are ready, says squad member

Posted : 08 December 2023

A member of Team Nigeria, Gabriel Olufunmilayo, who is participating in the Men’s World Squash Team Championship in Tauranga, New Zealand, stated on Friday that the team is training hard and ready to take on any challenge.

Olufunmilayo declared the team's readiness in New Zealand.

The team, comprising Tunde Ajagbe, Onaopemipo Adegoke, Olufunmilayo, and Kehinde Samuel, is one of the 24 teams confirmed to participate in the championship organized by the World Squash Federation (WSF).

The biennial tournament, featuring four-man squads from national federations, provides the platform for teams to battle for the title of World Squash Team Champions.

The tournament is scheduled to be held from Dec. 11 to Dec. 17 at New Zealand’s Mercury Baypark Arena and the Devoy Squash & Fitness Centre in Tauranga.

“We’re training hard as we should. I pray that my team members and I give a good account of ourselves. This tournament is one of the ways we can showcase our talents to the world.

“This will also expose us more internationally, considering the fact that come the 2028 Olympics squash will be one of the sports to compete for. This experience will give us a dose of what to expect.

“We’re hopeful that we will make the Nigeria Squash Federation and all squash enthusiasts proud,” he said.

He disclosed that the team members were not discouraged by the freezing weather: “It doesn’t matter that, as a player, one needs to understand that it’s important to acclimatize to any weather.”
