Mumbai, Jul 22: India will look to make home advantage count and win its first-ever gold medal at the FISU World University Squash Championship when the premier university event gets underway here from August 3.
The championship, organised by the International University Sports Federation (FISU), will be hosted at Somaiya Vidyavihar University.
India, which won a bronze medal in the previous edition in Johannesburg in 2024, enter the tournament with heightened expectations.
“We have home support, but at the same time we have the pressure of winning. Everyone is expecting gold from us and I am expecting that from myself,” bronze medallist Suraj Chand said during the launch of the championship.
