The senior national men’s and women’s squash teams have secured their qualification for the 2026 Central American and Caribbean (CAC) Games, following a strong showing at the recent Pan American Squash Championships in Brazil.
The teams’ placement at the Games, scheduled for late July 2026 in Santo Domingo, directly resulted from their impressive performance.
Despite finishing ninth in the championships, Guyana was among the top five countries from the CAC region, which guaranteed an automatic spot at the prestigious multi-sport event.
Guyana will be joined by fellow qualifiers from the CAC region, including Colombia, Mexico, Guatemala, and Barbados. Nineteen male teams and sixteen female teams competed in the championships.
The Guyana Squash Association (GSA) celebrated the achievement, noting on social media that the milestone was a “testament to the hard work, talent, and determination of our athletes.”
The association added that the team succeeded “battling through high-quality matches against the very best in the region.”
The squad, which was powered by sponsor ENet, included Nicolette Fernandes, Alex Arjoon, Kirsten Gomes, Ashley Khalil, Jason-Ray Khalil, Samuel Ince-Carvalhal and Mary Fung-A-Fat.
Ramon Chan-A-Sue coached the team.
