Federazione Italiana Giuoco Squash (FIGS)

The squash federation in Italy · Italian Squash Federation

Squash in Italy began organised play in 1976 and was first governed jointly with badminton under the A.I.B.S. (1977); it became autonomous on 23 March 1985 as F.I.G.S., recognised by CONI (upgraded to an 'Associated Discipline' in 2001 and to full National Sports Federation status in 2007). FIGS is affiliated to the World Squash Federation and runs individual and team national championships (senior, youth, veterans, schools), the Italian Junior Open, Italian Masters Open and PSA Challenger tournaments hosted in Italy, operational and youth men's/women's rankings, national-team training camps, school squash and inflatable-court promotional programmes, and a national coaching school. It is organised through federal assemblies, justice bodies, permanent commissions and territorial (regional) organs.
