First Egyptian Woman Appointed VP of African Squash Federation

Amna Eltarabolsy, President of the Egyptian Squash Federation and a former world-ranked champion, has been appointed Vice President of the African Squash Federation, becoming the first Egyptian woman in history to hold the position.

Eltarabolsy’s career began as a professional athlete, reaching a global ranking of No. 41 before retiring in 2008. Today, she stands at the helm of Egyptian squash’s administrative and media landscape, as the first female president of the national federation, but also as the presenter of Al-Abtal, Egypt’s first television programme dedicated to squash and its champions.

Eltarabolsy currently serves as Secretary of Sports for Alexandria Governorate under the Mostaqbal Watan (Nation’s Future) Party.

Her election to the African federation comes at a pivotal time. As squash prepares to make its Olympic debut at the Los Angeles 2028 Games, the continent is focused on elevating talent, infrastructure, and international competitiveness.
