Our friends at Carbon Holdings have added 17-year-old Alexandria squash phenom Rowan Elaraby to their sports sponsorship program after she secured her biggest win yet in the Irish Squash Open this year, ranking 31 globally. “Our investors and business partners know that national development is at the heart of what Carbon Holdings is all about — the idea that producing feedstock for manufacturers in a unique geographical location will make us a catalyst of industrialization and of exports,” CEO and Chairman Basil El-Baz said in a press release (pdf). “We take the same approach to our sponsorship of sports programs, investing in young Egyptians who carry our nation’s flag out into the world as they rise through global sports rankings.” Carbon Holdings had announced back in April that it would be sponsoring squash power couple Nour Al Tayeb and Ali Farag.

Meanwhile, Egyptian squash champions Nour El Sherbiny and Raneem El Welily will be competing against each other for the British Open women’s title today, Fil Goal reports. El Sherbiny previously won the championship in 2016, marking the first time for an Egyptian woman to walk away with the title. Meanwhile, world number one Mohamed El Shorbagy also made it to the championship’s final match, where he will be squaring off with Colombia’s Miguel Rodriguez, according to King Fut. Rodriguez edged out Farag in the quarter-final round.
