The World Squash Federation (WSF) is the worldwide governing body for squash, an indoor racquet sport which was once in the past called "squash rackets." The WSF is perceived by the International Olympic Committee (IOC) as the International Federation (IF) for squash and is likewise a member affiliated with the SportAccord and the Association of the IOC Recognized International Sports Federations (ARISF).
It is situated in Hastings in England. It is requesting for squash to be added to the Olympic program for the 2024 Summer Olympics after having fizzled with a bid for Tokyo 2020 Olympics.
The International Squash Rackets Federation (ISRF) was framed in 1967 to advance and coordinate the game, its name being changed in 1992 to the World Squash Federation (WSF).
