Promoters of the Kuwait Men’s World Open Squash Championships 2009, which will be staged from 1-7 November in the memory of His Highness Sheikh Saad Abdullah Al-Sabah The Patriarch Amir and in whose name the trophy shall be presented, have launched the event's official website www.KuwaitWorldOpen2009.com
The Kuwait Men’s World Open 2009 will boast a prize fund of US$277,500, the largest ever offered by any World Open or Professional Squash Association (PSA) World Tour event, and will be the first official sporting World Open Championship to be hosted in Kuwait - an amazing achievement for Kuwait and a landmark in the country’s sporting history.
Sheikha Fadyah Al-Sabah, the President of the Higher Organising Committee, has personally directed this innovative vision of the greatest squash event ever. Together with her advisers Jahangir Khan, Robert Edwards and Paul Walters, Sheikha Fadyah has seen the new site come to fruition after months of meticulous planning which will undoubtedly prove to be another success story for the Higher Organising Committee. The new website will show not only the colour and excitement of the world’s leading squash championship but give international viewers a second by second account of the action as well as an inside view of Kuwait as the host country.
Although there are still more than three months to go before the world’s leading players arrive in Kuwait, interest in the championships is starting to build and the dynamic and informative bespoke website - which has been created by award-winning design company MDB Consulting in England - is packed full of fascinating information, and is a must visit for all squash fans.
As well as details on the world’s most important squash championship, the site also features articles on the history of the sport and the Men’s World Open Championships, as well as profiles on the world’s top players who will be battling it out in Kuwait from the 1st to 7th November.
Sheikha Fadyah and her Higher Organising Committee are now pleased to launch the site in readiness for the event, which continues to build towards a glittering Opening Ceremony planned for the 1st November.
Paul Walters, Event Director for the Kuwait Men’s World Open 2009, said: "It’s fantastic that we have been able to launch the website in advance of what promises to be the biggest and best Men’s World Open Championship ever staged.
"The site has been designed to provide interesting content for all levels of squash fan, as well as important event information. The site will be the definitive source of information for all matters relating to the championships and through strong and consistent event branding will redefine and present the championships in a way that differs from other squash events."
