Pakistan's rising squash sensation Huzaifa Shahid continues to make waves on the international stage, securing the Under-13 title at the Japan Junior Open 2024.

Huzaifa delivered a stellar performance, defeating China's Yuan Xi Liu in the final with a commanding 3-0 victory, further solidifying his status as a dominant force in junior squash.

This latest triumph marks Huzaifa's third major title in 2024, following his impressive victories at the Hong Kong Junior Squash Championship and the Australian Junior Open earlier this year.

Supported by the Bilquis and Abdul Razak Dawood (BARD) Foundation, Huzaifa's journey to success has been nothing short of extraordinary, showcasing his remarkable talent and unwavering determination.

Reflecting on Huzaifa's continued success, Abdul Razak Dawood, the visionary behind BARD Foundation, expressed his pride, stating, "Huzaifa's accomplishments are a testament to his dedication, hard work, and exceptional talent.

Winning three major international titles in a single year is no small feat, and Huzaifa has truly proven himself as a formidable contender in the world of junior squash."

Huzaifa's success extends beyond this year. In 2023, he made headlines by winning the Borneo Junior Open in Malaysia, further establishing himself as one of the most promising young talents in the sport.

His achievements have not gone unnoticed, as he also secured a silver medal in the U-13 category at the Asian Junior Squash Championship held in Islamabad in June this year.
