 Karachi - Pakistan, 28 November 2018 – YahClick, the satellite broadband internet service of UAE-based global satellite operator Yahsat, announced its co-sponsorship of the upcoming 2018 Pakistan Open Squash Championship in Karachi today. The event hosted by Sindh Squash Association is one of the most prestigious squash tournaments in the world, welcoming 48 leading squash players from 20 countries.

The tournament that has returned after a ten-year hiatus will commence on November 28 and run through to December 2 at Karachi’s DA Creek Club. YahClick’s sponsorship of the tournament builds upon the shared vision with the Sindh Squash Association of connecting communities to foster excellence. As YahClick seeks to provide global connectivity, helping to unlock human potential, the satellite broadband provider sees the sponsorship as a fitting collaboration to reinforce its brand value as well as support the revival of this global event. 

YahClick’s arrival in Pakistan in 2015 enabled several communities and businesses, especially in underserved markets, to get access to high-speed, reliable and cost-effective connectivity. By delivering the benefits of high-performance broadband satellite internet through the country’s trusted Service Partners, YahClick has contributed to fostering digital inclusion in Pakistan.

“As an enterprise dedicated to unlocking the potential of communities through connectivity, we’re excited to be a part of the revival of this prestigious event.” commented Sajid Mangrio, VP Sales Central Asia at Yahsat. “Our sponsorship reflects YahClick’s commitment to support the nation’s journey towards socio-economic progress. By lending support to the upcoming global squash tournament, we hope to play our part in promoting excellence through sports in Pakistan. We wish all of this year’s players the very best of luck.” he added.

The championship which is registered with the Professional Squash Association and approved by the Pakistan Squash Federation will see iconic Pakistani sportsmen and squash legends in attendance.  The honourable Pakistani President, Mr. Arif Alvi, will be the guest of honour during the finals.  

"It is an honour to be hosting this global event which I am certain will be watched by all sports lovers across the world. We hope that this event sets the stage for many such successful events in the future. We’re also proud to welcome YahClick as a sponsor and we thank them for supporting the return of this tournament.” said Rashid Ahmad, Honorary Secretary of the Sindh Squash Association.

As YahClick deepens its broadband penetration within Pakistan and across markets in the Middle East, Africa and South West Asia, it also endeavours to help drive social change. To that end, YahClick is playing an important role in developing a stronger ICT sector in underserved markets as well as through supporting community engagements such as sponsoring the 2018 Pakistan Open Squash Championship.
