Wroclaw will be hoping it is third time lucky after the city was chosen to stage the World Masters Squash Championships in 2022.

The city was due to hold the World Squash Federation (WSF) tournament, which is open to players aged 35 and older, in 2020 before it was cancelled, and again this year before it met the same fate.

On both occasions the coronavirus pandemic was to blame.

The 33-court Hasta La Vista Club, described by the WSF as the world's largest squash club, is now set to host the World Masters Squash Championships in August of next year.

"The WSF World Masters Squash Championships is a highly-anticipated tournament on the WSF calendar, and we are pleased to allocate the 2022 edition to Poland after they missed out on hosting the event in both 2020 and now 2021 due to the ongoing impact of the global COVID-19 pandemic," said WSF Masters Commission chair Malcolm Kerr.

"The Hasta La Vista Club is a spectacular venue with world-class facilities and we're excited to welcome the globe’s best Masters players next year to the historic city of Wroclaw for what promises to be an exciting event."

It was used for squash during the 2017 World Games and also hosted the WSF World Junior Championships in 2013.
