HONG KONG, Nov. 29 (Xinhua) -- The world's top squash players will compete in the WSF World Squash Team Championships from December 9 to 15 at the Hong Kong Football Club.

The event will feature elite players from teams representing Hong Kong, the United States, China, Spain, South Africa, and others, all vying to dethrone reigning champions Egypt.

A total of seven top-10 men's players and nine top-10 women's players are confirmed to compete.

This marks the first time Hong Kong has hosted the championships, which began in 1967 for men and 1979 for women. This year's tournament has attracted a global field of 49 teams, including 26 men's and 23 women's squads, with nearly 200 players competing for the top glory.

Additionally, this is the first instance in which the men's and women's competitions will take place simultaneously at the same venue.
