Quadri Yusuf to Represent Nigeria at World Junior Squash

Quadri Yusuf, a 17-year-old squash player from Lagos, is set to represent Nigeria at the 2026 World Junior Squash Championship in Niagara Lake, Canada, where 20 countries will compete for the title. Yusuf's journey began seven years ago when he was introduced to squash by childhood friends Joshua and Elijah Daniel.

He recently defended his title at the Prime Atlantic Squash Tournament, defeating Shuaib Giwa in a challenging five-set final, marking his second consecutive win. Yusuf's success is attributed to his dedication, discipline, and the support of his family, who encouraged his passion for the sport.

He has trained intensively, focusing on stamina and technique, and believes in his ability to compete against top international players. Yusuf's rise in squash is notable, as he prepares to face formidable opponents, including the defending champion from Egypt, at the upcoming championship.
