The Asian Hong Kong U19 Junior and Cadet Squash Championship featured 320 players competing in a range of categories, the tournament organisers reported. Mohammed Al-Nusfan topped the under-19 division by defeating his Hong Kong opponent in three straight games to take first place. The event stands as one of the key gold-category competitions organised by the Asian Squash Federation each year.
The Saudi Squash Federation announced the result shortly after the final concluded in Hong Kong. Al-Nusfan’s performance in the championship built upon his seeding as the number one player in the boys under-19 draw for the associated open event. His path to the title included several strong matches against regional rivals according to updates from the organisers.
A report from the World Squash Federation detailed how Al-Nusfan became the first Saudi player to reach the last 16 at the 2025 World Squash Junior Championships. He achieved the breakthrough with multiple five-game victories during the competition held in Egypt. That run opened doors for greater recognition of Saudi junior squash on the global stage.
The Saudi Press Agency covered Al-Nusfan’s earlier win at the Doha Asian Squash Junior Open where he defeated Egypt’s Yahya Elabyad 3-0 in the under-17 final during October 2023. He secured another title at the Singapore Asian Junior Squash Championship by defeating Hong Kong’s Long Hin Larry Wong. These results have positioned him among Asia’s leading junior talents over the past few seasons.
Squash Info profiles list Al-Nusfan as a 17-year-old from Riyadh who joined the PSA in 2023 and has competed extensively since. His highest world ranking reached 828 as he gained experience on the European junior circuit where he won four titles in 2025. The player has benefited from national federation support that has expanded Saudi participation in international junior events.
The Asian Squash Federation has overseen a series of junior events that help develop talent across member nations with annual schedules that include multiple gold-category tournaments. The Hong Kong championship formed part of that calendar with its emphasis on under-19 and cadet groups. Al-Nusfan’s gold medal adds to Saudi Arabia’s tally in these Asian-level competitions.
