Amina Orfi: the Egyptian prodigy who is shaking up the squash world

A meteoric rise

On November 24, 2024, 17-year-old Egyptian prodigy Amina Orfi made squash history by winning the Singapore Open. The victory made her the youngest player to win a Gold-category title on the PSA Women's World Tour.

Facing her compatriot Hania El Hammamy, world number 3, Orfi delivered an exceptional performance, winning in five games after 96 minutes of an intense match. This victory is not only a personal achievement, but also a strong signal to the squash world: a new generation of talent is emerging, ready to challenge the best.

A journey marked by records

Before this consecration in Singapore, Amina Orfi had already made her mark. In September 2024, she became the second youngest player to enter the world top 10, just behind Nour El Sherbini.

In addition, she won three consecutive junior world championship titles, an unprecedented feat in squash history.

Her rapid progression and impressive performances have now placed her among the key figures in women's squash. Observers agree that her style of play, combining power and precision, as well as her maturity on the court, have destined her for an exceptional career.

Egypt, land of champions

Amina Orfi's victory at the Singapore Open confirms Egypt's dominance in world squash. In the men's event, world number 1 Ali Farag also shone by winning the tournament for the second year in a row.

This Egyptian supremacy is explained by a deeply rooted sports culture and an efficient training system. Young talents benefit from quality infrastructures and high-level supervision, allowing them to quickly reach the world elite.

Amina Orfi embodies this new generation of Egyptian champions, ready to perpetuate the country's tradition of excellence in the world of squash. Her determination and talent suggest a career rich in success and records.
