France Breaks 26-Year Drought to Join Semi-Finals in Junior Squash

France made history at the World Junior Squash Team Championships by reaching the semi‑finals for the first time in 26 years. The French side, unseeded, dispatched sixth‑seed Malaysia 2‑0, earning a place in the tournament’s final four for the first time since the year 2000.

The French victory adds another European contender to a semi‑final field that already includes the United States, Egypt, and India’s men’s team. As the competition moves into its knockout stages, France will look to build on their breakthrough performance and challenge the traditional squash heavyweights.

The French triumph underlines the growing depth of talent across the junior ranks and sets the stage for an exciting conclusion to the championship.
