The five-day event, featuring a junior training clinic, is a closed satellite event on the PSA World Tour Calendar and will provide players with the opportunity to earn valuable PSA and national ranking points.

Rerhe Idonije, Founder and CEO of Rernco Sports Academy, stated that the tournament aims to be a game-changer for squash in Nigeria, with strategies in place for diverse development programmes. The objective is to elevate squash to one of the country’s top five sports.

“The motivation for us at Rernco is our belief that sports can bridge social inequalities in the lives of children and young people,” she explained. “Moreover, the potential displayed by squash enthusiasts, including players, coaches, and officials, to become world-class athletes is commendable.”

Idonije expressed gratitude to major sponsors such as Zenith Bank, Nestle Nigeria, Nigerian Breweries, Sweet Sensation, and Afrione. “We feel privileged at Rernco to provide a platform where Nigerian squash players can actualise their lofty aspirations,” she added.
