Dunlop signs WSF agreement
Dunlop Slazenger has signed a new five-year agreement with the World Squash Federation (WSF) to be the 'Official Ball' of the organisation. This agreement sees the continuation of the partnership between Dunlop and the WSF that has existed since 1991. The new agreement sees this extended until 2012.
The historic partnership ensures Dunlop Squash Balls will be the 'Official Ball of the WSF' and that of its Regional Federations. This ball will be exclusively used in over 40 World Championships, Regional Championships and Major Games.
In addition to providing squash balls for use both in championships and development, the agreement also provides a platform for a strategic partnership in the areas of development and technology. Both organisations have agreed to exchange knowledge and establish initiatives to facilitate the growth of the sport.
WSF Chief Executive Christian Leighton commented: "The WSF has grown dramatically since the first sponsorship agreement in 1991. In that year, Squash was included in only two Major Games. We are now on the programme of every major multi-sport event except the Olympic Games, more than 20 events. Dunlop has played a key role in this growth and will continue to do so."
