The World Squash Federation (WSF) has announced Amsterdam in The Netherlands as the hosts of the 2024 World Masters Squash Championships.

Scheduled to be held from August 17 to 24 at the Frans Otten Stadion, this will be the first time that the European nation will host the WSF World Masters.

"The WSF World Masters Squash Championships is a highly-anticipated part of the WSF calendar and we're delighted to come to an agreement with Squash Bond Netherlands to bring the tournament to the Netherlands for the first time," said WSF chief executive William Louis-Marie.

"The Netherlands has a rich history in the sport and even boast a former Masters champion in Laurens Jan Anjema, who became the first Dutch winner of the event in 2018.

"We look forward to working with Squash Bond Netherlands over the next 20 months to ensure that the 2024 edition of the WSF World Masters is bigger and better than ever before."

Players aged between 35 and 80 years plus will be in action in Amsterdam, which is hosting the 21st edition of the event.

The last edition took place at the Hasta La Vista Club in Wrocław, Poland in August this year.
