Squash is a popular sport in Egypt. The country has been producing top players since the 1930s, and it is believed that former president Hosni Mubarak, a keen player himself, gave the sport a major boost in the 1990s. It has also been said that the current success is the result of an investment in the sport of Egyptian society as a whole.
