Kampala, Uganda | 10th October 2026
Kampala Club Ltd on Friday, 10th October 2026, joined the global squash fraternity to celebrate World Squash Day at its home courts, bringing together young players and the wider squash community to celebrate the passion, talent, discipline and respect that make squash a truly special sport.
The celebration was organised by Kawooya Micheal Raymond, a professional squash player, coach and squash development ambassador in Uganda, whose continued involvement in the game reflects his commitment to promoting squash, nurturing young talent and encouraging more children to take up the sport.
Held under the theme “Rally for Squash,” the event highlighted the importance of grassroots development, youth participation and the continued growth of squash in Uganda. It also underscored the vital role of sports clubs and coaches in creating opportunities for young people to learn, compete and develop through sport.

Through coaching, mentorship and organised programmes, the club continues to provide a platform where young players can discover their potential and develop a lasting love for the game. The celebration also emphasised the need for collective efforts to promote squash in Uganda, strengthen youth programmes and foster a positive sporting environment for players of all ages and abilities.
