Somaiya Vidyavihar University Dominates AIU Squash Tournament

Somaiya Vidyavihar University has emerged victorious in both the men's and women's categories at the AIU All India Inter-University Squash Tournament, held at their sports academy. The event saw participation from 76 teams representing 36 universities from across the country.

In a nail-biting men's final, the hosts secured a 3-2 triumph over the University of Madras, Chennai. Meanwhile, the women's team from Somaiya Vidyavihar defeated Panjab University, Chandigarh, to claim the title.

The impressive scale of the event, which grew from 19 teams last year to nearly 40 in the men's category and 36 in the women's, underscores the rising popularity of squash in Indian universities. Somaiya Vidyavihar is also slated to host the FISU World University Squash Championship in August, marking another prestigious event for the university.
