Squash World Champion Amina Orfi Sets Three Goals Ahead of LA28
Sports Correspondent: Imran Sohail
Egyptian squash star Amina Orfi is refusing to let her remarkable success distract her from the challenges ahead, with the teenage world champion already focused on her next targets and preparations for the LA28 Olympic Games.
At just 18 years old, Orfi made history in 2026 by becoming the youngest female world champion in squash. Despite achieving one of the sport’s biggest milestones at such a young age, the Egyptian player says the victory has only increased her desire to compete and improve.
World Title Has Increased Her Motivation
Orfi admitted that winning the world championship still feels somewhat unreal, saying she has not completely processed the significance of her historic achievement.
However, instead of taking an extended break to celebrate, she quickly returned to competition. The British Open followed soon after her world championship triumph, with Orfi continuing to compete through the World Tour Finals.
The busy schedule helped her maintain her focus and prevented her from becoming distracted by the attention surrounding her achievement.
“I think the success just made me even more hungry,” Orfi said.
Staying Focused After Historic Achievement
For Orfi, maintaining the right mindset is an important part of her continued development. Rather than becoming emotionally affected by the pressure of expectations, she is concentrating on the next challenge in front of her.
Her approach has helped her remain calm on court while continuing to develop as one of the most promising players in international squash.
The Egyptian prodigy is now looking beyond her world championship success and preparing for the bigger challenges that await her in the coming years.
Three Goals for the Road Ahead
Orfi has set herself three personal goals to help maintain her focus and ensure that her attention remains on improvement rather than past achievements.
The targets are designed to keep her motivated and provide a clear direction as she works toward the LA28 Olympic Games, where squash will be part of the Olympic programme.
For the young champion, having specific objectives is also a way of maintaining discipline while dealing with the growing expectations that come with becoming a world champion.
Rice Becomes Part of Her Preparation
Alongside her training and competitive preparation, Orfi has also developed a particular focus on nutrition.
Rice has become an important part of her preparation as she looks to maintain the energy required for the demanding physical workload associated with elite squash.
The combination of structured training, nutrition and clearly defined targets is helping the Egyptian star prepare for the next stage of her career.
Eyes on LA28
Although her world championship victory has already placed her among squash’s leading names, Orfi is determined not to become satisfied with her achievements.
With the LA28 Olympic Games approaching, the 18-year-old is aiming to use her recent success as motivation for further progress.
Her ability to remain focused despite her rapid rise could prove crucial as she faces increased competition and expectations on the road to Los Angeles.
