In the Under-11 category, Ali Fathi triumphed over the older Turkish contender, Mehmet Yaman Oter, to secure the title.
The Under-13 final saw Ammar Adel make a dream debut in European Squash Federation competitions, claiming the gold after a thrilling battle with Russia’s Arseniy Alekseev.
Meanwhile, Adv Guli used his international experience to dominate the Under-15 category and bring home gold.
The standout moment of the tournament came from Rohan Roy, just 16 years old, who competed in the Under-19 category and clinched gold by defeating Jordan’s Mohammed Al-Bataineh.
In the Under-17 division, Nasser Al-Jiaan (14 years old) impressed by finishing sixth against a field of much older and more experienced players — a result that earned admiration and respect.
Also in the Under-15 category, Zain Fathi showed grit despite an early setback against top-seeded Russian Nikita Smirnov, eventually finishing 17th overall.
Meysan Elite’s performance in Turkey underscored the depth of its junior program and highlighted the bright future of squash in the region.
