World’s Best to Line-Up in Doha for Qatar Classic

The 2018 Qatar Classic will welcome the world’s leading players back to Doha between October 27 — November 2 when World №1 and defending champion Mohamed ElShorbagy will kick off his attempts to lift the PSA World Tour Platinum title for the fourth time at the Khalifa International Tennis & Squash Complex.

ElShorbagy, 27, won the Qatar Classic in 2013, 2015 and 2017 and also appeared in the final of the 2012 and 2014 PSA World Championships, which took place in Doha, the capital of the State of Qatar.

The Egyptian will look to keep his superb run going in Qatar but will face resistance from the likes of World №2 Ali Farag, 2011 winner Gregory Gaultier and the in form Simon Rosner and Miguel Angel Rodriguez as he looks to take the lion’s share of the $177K prize purse.

Local interest comes in the form of the Qatari Champion, Abdulla Mohd Al Tamimi, and Syed Azlan Amjad and Abdulrahman Al-Malki, who will appear in the main draw for the first since the 2006 edition.

Al Tamimi is currently playing at a career-high World №28 ranking and will look to reach the latter rounds of this tournament for the first time.

As a PSA World Tour Platinum tournament, the winner of the event will automatically qualify for a coveted berth at the season-ending PSA World Tour Finals, which includes both a men’s and women’s tournament and features the reigning PSA World Champions together with the season’s Platinum event winners and players that qualify by placing high enough on the PSA Road to Dubai Leaderboard.

Action from the Qatar Classic will be broadcast live on SQUASHTV (Rest of World) and Eurosport Player (Europe only), with action from the semi-finals on November 1 and the final on November 2 being shown live by mainstream broadcasters around the world, such as BT Sport, beIN Sports, Fox Sports Australia and Astro.

An Exciting match is in the offing to be played between the Kerala Legends XI and Goa Legends XI to be held at the GFA Duler Stadium on the 29th September, 2018 at 6.30pm being organized by the John Paul II Foundation for Sports Goa in association with Goa Football Association.  The Legends Exhibition Match is a Fundraiser for the Rehabilitation of the young kids of the floods affected victim's in Kerala especially in the Wayanad, Mallapuram and Idduki district's.

The Kerala Legends XI team will be led by Arjuna Awardee I M Vijayan who is a household name in the football arena and the Goa Legends XI team is to be led by Arjuna Awardee Brahmanand Shankhwalkar and assisted by Arjuna Awardee Bruno Coutinho. There are more than 25 players in both teams included who have represented India in several tournaments and most of them have been players who have won the Santosh trophy either for Kerala or Goa and rightly so, the match is called the Legends Exhibition Match which is to be played under flood lights at the GFA stadium in Duler. Armando Colaco who has been a celebrity coach within the country and himself an International player will be the coach of the Goa Legends XI team and Mr.John Fernandes will be the Manager.

The Goa Legends XI includes Brahmanand Shankhwalkar, Nicholas Pereira, Bruno Coutinho, Savio Medeira, Derrick Pereira, Lector Mascarenhas, Mahesh Lotlikar, Mario Soares, Camilo Gonsalves, David D'Souza who have donned the Indian colors  and have also won the Santosh trophy for Goa. The team also includes International Robert Fernandes, Climax Lawrence, Sameer Naik, Clifford Miranda, Micky Fernandes and Nelson Landez who is a Junior International. The others who have represented Goa are Avertano Furtado, Marian Dias, Jerry Fernandes, Bharat Morje, Mathew Dcosta, Fausto Lobo, Vishant Pednekar, Pascoal Pereira, Frank Fernandes and Bosco Monteiro who have also played for the top clubs of Goa.

The Kerala Legends XI comprises of I M Vijayan, V P Shaji, P B Thobias, Vinu Jose, Feroz Sheriff, Martin Mathew, Anson, Pappachan Pradeep, M Suresh, M A Abdul Hakeem, U Sharaf Ali, K Ajayan Nair, K V Dhanesh, Habeeb Rehman have represented India in International competitions, whereas Abdul Noushad, V Sivakumar, M V Nelson, Ignatius Sylvester, Kurikesh Mathew who have captained the Santosh trophy Kerala teams. Asif Saheer well known as Kerala’s Maradona along with K P Sunny, P Shabeer Ali and Lanel Thomas have represented Kerala in the Santosh trophy. All of the players have either played for Kerala Police, SBT and some in Kolkata and Goa for the top clubs.

Both the teams have players who have played against each other in the past three decades either in the Santosh trophy at various levels including the Finals or have played together in the National squad with each other and hence this match is being looked forward by both the teams as a time of friendly fellowship and yet a clash of the Giants of Indian Football since the average age of players is between 40 – 42 Years.

The tickets for the match will be available at Angleys Sports (Panjim) and at the GFA stadium Duler from Wednesday onwards. The tickets are priced at Rs 200/- & Rs 100/- and since the match is for raising funds a Housie will be conducted with an exciting cash prize during the half time of the match.

The proceeds of the match will go to the Kerala Sports Coalition which works with young boy's in the age category of 8-15 years by training them in football skills and life skills coaching. The kids belong to the underprivileged and marginalized communities who cannot afford to play, however they are given a platform to showcase their talents and skills through the coaching programs. They will have opportunities to participate in tournaments and those involved in the coaching programs are Coaches who have represented India and especially Kerala in the Santosh trophy.
The boy's will be provided playing kits, refreshments and transportation. They will be exposed to play in national championships for children from similar Communities.

The Foundation along with GFA is expecting support and appeals to all the Football loving people from Goa to be a part to witness the match.  The organizers are hoping to see clubs, several parishes from North Goa and other Sports and Social organizations especially the Kerala Samaj members from all over the state of Goa to come together to help bring a smile on the faces of the presently traumatized children because of the situation arising from the recent floods in Kerala.

As a part of the match the foundation is also planning to collect sports kit and equipment from all those who have Used, Unused and New football playing material including Jerseys, shorts, stockings, shin guards, football shoes and track shoes. The Foundation expects Schools, Colleges, Clubs and Players who can make collections of the above equipment to be sent along with the Kerala team back to the respective districts as a part of the Rehabilitation program and hence appeals that those wanting to donate in kind through Sports equipment may contact Kennedy D’Silva director of the Foundation on 9850169370.

INTERPOL-Europol conference calls for global response to cybercrime 

SINGAPORE — Cyber experts from law enforcement, the private sector and academia have gathered in Singapore this week to devise strategies for promoting the global cybersecurity agenda. With cybercriminals using increasingly sophisticated methods and technologies to carry out their illicit activities, the 6th INTERPOL-Europol Cybercrime Conference will focus on the most pressing cyberthreats today and in the future, which include attacks against the financial and government sectors, the rise of ‘cybercrime as a service’, denial of service (DNS) attacks and business e-mail compromise scams. Under the theme of ‘Globalized efforts to tackle cybercrime’, the three-day (18–20 September) conference will look at ways in which stakeholders from all sectors can combine their expertise to make the internet a more secure environment. Key areas of discussion will include developing actionable cyberthreat intelligence, identifying cybercriminals through their online behaviour, defining the role of digital forensics, implementing national and regional legislations to tackle cybercrime, and crisis response planning. “The accelerated pace of technological innovation presents truly exciting opportunities. However, each new evolution also presents potential security gaps which cybercriminals are bound to probe,” said INTERPOL Executive Director of Police Services, Tim Morris. “We must not only remain ahead of the technological curve, we must do so collectively. Only through a concerted globalized effort which maximizes our expertise and minimizes the gaps will we be best prepared to tackle emerging cyberthreats,” concluded Mr Morris. He highlighted several recent activities including the INTERPOL Digital Security Challenge where participants investigated a simulated cyberattack launched through an ‘Internet of Things’ connected device, and a Working Group meeting on the Darknet and Cryptocurrencies which identified emerging threats such as the rise of new forms of virtual currencies. Following the 2017 INTERPOL-Europol conference, the two organizations have made notable progress in addressing the key identified areas of ransomware, the criminal abuse of the Darknet, and the implementation of a proactive approach to increase public awareness of online safety. In this respect, the two organizations have discussed the need for a strategy to combat the illegal Darknet economy through information sharing, operational support, training and awareness raising. Steven Wilson, head of the European Cybercrime Centre (EC3), said: “2018 has seen greater law enforcement success in fighting cybercrime on a global basis and increased public awareness of the threat, but cybercriminals are becoming smarter and more targeted in their approach and presenting an ever-increasing threat.” “The annual INTERPOL-Europol Cybercrime Conference is an important event to bring together not just global law enforcement partners but thought leaders from industry and academia to ensure that there is a cross sector approach to tackling this threat,” he added. Several high-level delegates are attending the conference, including the European Union (EU) Ambassador to Singapore, Barbara Plinkert. In recent months, the EU has been working towards implementing a new EU Cybersecurity Crisis Response Framework, allowing authorities to react quickly, operationally and in unison in the event of a major cross-border cyberattack. The EU Law Enforcement Emergency Response Protocol, the police contribution to the crisis management structure, was presented during the event in Singapore. The conference, which brings together 198 delegates from 50 countries, also provides an opportunity for Europol and INTERPOL to reconfirm their strong commitment to continue their collaboration in the fight against cybercrime, building on successful examples such as the Global Airline Action Days targeting individuals purchasing airline tickets with stolen or fake credit card details, and the No More Ransom initiative which provides free public access to tools for decrypting data locked by ransomware. The INTERPOL-Europol Cybercrime Conference is a joint initiative launched in 2013. Held annually, it is hosted in alternate years by Europol and INTERPOL.

Dalian Delights In Successful Staging Of Historic World Championship

18 September 2018

Traditional Chinese musicians and dancers regaled athletes, officials and volunteers at the Closing Ceremony dinner for the CGG WSF Women's World Team Squash Championship in Dalian as the Liaoning Province seaport city celebrated the successful staging of the historic first world squash championship to be held on mainland China.

Egypt, with a powerful squad boasting four world top six-ranked players, successfully defended the title - beating seven-times champions England to claim the title for a fourth time in 10 years.

Athletes representing the 16 nations, many in traditional costumes (Japan team & coach pictured above), heard speeches from local dignitaries and cheered presentations to a team of local volunteers and referees from both China and overseas - all of whom had made the 21st staging of the biennial World Squash Federation championship at the Xigang Gymnasium a major success. In addition to two all-glass showcourts (pictured below), the venue also boasts four permanently-sited all-glass courts.

It was in June 2016 that the Dalian Squash Association first revealed its plan to bid for the 2018 championship: "I would like to show my appreciation to the city by bringing the World Championship here," said Secretary General Wang GuoGuang at the time. "It would be a great milestone in my life and would make me very proud."

At the farewell dinner, the local Association's Chairman Lu Zhi Jun said: "We are very grateful for the trust the WSF and the whole community of squash gave us. We also thank the Dalian Government and the Dalian Sports Bureau, plus the athletes, officials and all the volunteers who made it possible to stage this successful event.

"I hope squash will continue to develop in China and that we will all see each other again soon."

WSF CEO Andrew Shelley commented: "These WSF Women's World Championships have shown that China is not just growing in squash, but actually leading the way! The first-ever world championship played entirely on glass showcourts - the six CGG courts providing a memorable Dalian staging to complement the superb overall arrangements and hospitality the visiting players and officials experienced.

"Squash thrives in Asia. Everybody leaves with anticipation for the 2020 staging in Kuala Lumpur - for whom the bar has certainly been set high."

After being reminded of his plan over two years ago, Championship Director and event driving force Wang GuoGuang (pictured above with the winning Egypt team) said: "I had a dream .... I chased it .... and I achieved it! So I am very pleased with the outcome. I now want to concentrate on developing juniors in our country so that in future years China can compete more successfully on the world stage."

In his capacity as founder of Dalian GuoGuang Sports Facilities Engineering Co Ltd, the company which produced the Xigang Gymnasium glass courts and is the only Asian court manufacturer to be accredited by the WSF, Wang added: "Our hope is produce more glass courts in our country to help squash grow in China."

The final act of the closing ceremony was left to WSF Vice President Huang Ying How who handed over the WSF flag to 2020 hosts Malaysia, represented by former world number one and nine times World Team Championships' participant Nicol David (both pictured below).
