The Professional Squash Association (PSA) and Women’s Squash Association (WSA) are set to join forces in a historic merger that will see the sport being run by a unified governing body for the first time ever.
Following a lengthy consultation process involving the sport’s major stakeholders over the past 10 months, which included inviting both memberships of the PSA and WSA to vote on the proposed merger, a decision was reached on October 28 that will see the PSA operate as the governing body for both the women’s and men’s ranks from January 1, 2015.
Continuing to operate under the existing PSA name, the re-formed organisation will be responsible for running the professional game with the strategic aim of increasing the level of equality and parity in prize money and playing opportunities.
