In a move reflecting long-term commitment and strategic vision, the Board of Directors of Sporting Club (Alexandria) has officially renewed the contract of squash legend Nour El Sherbini — eight-time World Champion — through 2029.
The announcement was met with widespread enthusiasm among sports fans and professionals, particularly as it comes at a pivotal time in the sport’s history: squash is set to make its Olympic debut at the Los Angeles 2028 Games. The extended contract reflects the club’s full backing of El Sherbini’s journey toward what could become a defining milestone — an Olympic medal in the sport’s first official appearance on the world’s biggest sporting stage.
A Champion’s Path
El Sherbini, often dubbed the “Queen of Squash,” has been a dominant force in the sport for over a decade, clinching her eighth world title earlier this year and continuing to inspire generations of athletes across the Arab world and beyond. Her renewed partnership with Sporting Club solidifies her position not just as a player, but as an icon representing both Egypt’s sporting excellence and the global aspirations of squash.
Sporting Club’s Vision
In a statement, Sporting Club reaffirmed its strategic commitment to elite athlete development, stating that El Sherbini’s renewal aligns with a broader plan to support top-tier athletes as they prepare for global competitions — most notably, the upcoming Olympic Games.
“This contract renewal is not just about continuity, but about belief,” said a club spokesperson. “We believe in Nour’s vision, her discipline, and her capability to make history once again — this time, on the Olympic podium.”
Looking Ahead: Los Angeles 2028
With squash finally included in the Olympic program, all eyes will be on Egypt — the world’s dominant squash nation — to lead the charge. El Sherbini’s experience, resilience, and unmatched skill make her a top contender and a natural ambassador for the sport.
