LA28 Squash Final Qualifier: The Americas Will Help Shape Olympic History

Seattle and Bellevue will host the final qualifying tournament in June 2028, placing the Americas at the heart of squash’s journey to its first Olympic Games.

The LA28 squash final qualifier will take place in Seattle and Bellevue, Washington, from June 6–10, 2028. The tournament will award the last two Olympic places: one in men’s singles and one in women’s singles.

At PanamSquash, we welcome this announcement with pride and excitement. Our continent will host the moment that completes squash’s first Olympic field, before Los Angeles welcomes the sport to the Games.

Congratulations to US Squash and the Host Community

PanamSquash congratulates US Squash on this important milestone for squash in the United States and across the Americas. We also recognise YSK Events, PRO Club and the Seattle and Bellevue squash communities as they prepare to welcome athletes pursuing their Olympic dream.

Hosting this event carries a special meaning. For the players who reach it, one final tournament will stand between years of preparation and the opportunity to become an Olympian. For the host community, it is a chance to share that moment with the world.

The Americas at the Heart of an Olympic Milestone

Squash will make its Olympic debut at Los Angeles 2028. Explore the sport’s place in the Games on the official LA28 squash page.

The Americas will be part of history as both a host region and a community pursuing the Olympic dream. From national federations and local clubs to coaches, officials and supporters, this journey gives our continent a shared reason to celebrate and an opportunity to inspire new players.

The final qualifier in Washington will bring the world to our region for one of the defining moments on that journey.

Following Our Athletes on the Road to LA28

At PanamSquash, we will follow athletes from across the Americas as they pursue Olympic qualification. We will share their progress, celebrate their achievements and keep our community connected to the road ahead.

The pathway includes Continental Games, PSA World Rankings, host-country quota places, universality places and the final qualifier, subject to the official qualification conditions. Learn more in the Olympic qualification system overview.

For regional context, revisit Asunción 2026 and the journey towards Lima 2027 and LA28.
