The $32,000 PSA World Ranking Tournament began in Budapest on September 20.

On the first day, the audience could see 16 athletes in 8 extremely exciting matches at Marczibányi Square. Two of our Hungarian athletes, who won wild cards, also took to the field, Dániel Simon lost to Portuguese Rui Soares 3-0 (11-3, 11-5, 11-9), and Benedek Takács also lost to Egyptian Yassin Elshafei 3-0 (11-3, 11-1, 11-4).

Balázs Farkas, the number one player in our country, will take to the field on Sunday at 16:45 against Frenchman Toufik Makhalfi (vr.71) for a place in the top eight.

The entire tournament can be watched online on Squash TV, with countless stories and posts daily on the PSA Budapest Open Facebook and Instagram pages, and Ricsi Kirner’s pictures here.

After 20 years, the European Individual Closed Championship will be held in Hungary again!

We recently received official confirmation from the ESF that Budapest will host the EICC 2026. We last hosted the European Championship in 2006, so we are very happy that this prestigious European tournament has come to our country again after two decades. The date could not be more perfect, as it coincides exactly with one of our biggest national holidays, and of course we will take advantage of it!

It is expected that two more Satellite competitions will take place in 2025, where a men’s category will also start.

Come on Ladies!
