A new state-of-the-art squash complex opened in Iran earlier this month, with the Iranian Minister of Sport and Youth, Masoud Soltanifar, in attendance as the Persian Gulf Squash Centre inaugurated.
Iran NOC; Tehran: Located
in the North East of the country, the Persian Gulf Squash Centre contains four
brand new squash courts which will act as the squash academic center.
It is the latest move
in an attempt by the Iran Squash Federation to increase participation and
playing opportunities in the country as they aim to up the number of registered
squash players in Iran from 7,500 to 10,000 within a year.
Opening the new squash
center will be a great step which foregrounds the sport’s activities and helps
popularize squash within the society.
