Squash@Symphony: Showdown V

Squash@Symphony: Showdown V is a showcase of World Class Squash played on a state-of-the-art, all-glass portable court. The racquet and ball sport, typically played in a singles format between two people, is nearly 200 years old, but makes its debut in the Olympic Games in Los Angeles in 2028. Showdown is a competition between Team Egypt, the sport’s powerhouse nation, featuring 8-time World Champion Nour Elsherbini and 4-time World Champion Ali Farag, and Team World comprised of World No. 3 Diego Elias of Peru and American star and World No. 3 Olivia Weaver. The men’s match and the women’s match are played to three games with aggregate games-won (or a playoff) deciding which team wins the traditional Sharif Khan Trophy.
