As of 2018, Egypt was a squash superpower.[1] It has been producing top players since the 1930s, and it is believed that former president Hosni Mubarak, a keen player himself, gave it a major boost in the 1990s.[2] It has also been said that the current success is the result of an investment in the sport of Egyptian society as a whole.[3]
As of April 2018, Egypt boasted 5 out of the top 10 male players in the world and 5 out of the top 10 female players in the world. The El Shorbagy brothers had been particularly successful, with Mohamed and Marwan being the world numbers 2 and 6 respectively.
