At its Extraordinary General Meeting on June 14, 2025, Member Federations of World Squash voted unanimously to update its Championship Regulations and the Rules of Squash to support the continuous evolution of the sport. The changes were timely as we approach the three-year milestone to squash’s debut at the LA28 Olympic Games.
Key changes to the Rules include the introduction of a new diving rule as part of a new “conditions of play” section; the addition of a new pre-existing blood injury rule to prevent unnecessary delays; additions to the conduct rule to now cover aspects such as attempting to influence the referee; and alignment of time intervals across the sport.
The changes will come into effect on 1st September. The full version of the updated rules can be found here
