Mumbai, March 9, 2026: The courts at Somaiya Vidyavihar University come alive as the AIU All India Inter-University Squash Tournament 2025–26 kicks off, bringing together 76 teams from 36 universities for five days of intense competition. Hosting the tournament for the fourth consecutive year, the tournament features 40 men’s teams and 36 women’s teams, with each match testing speed, agility, skill, and stamina, as players fight for victory and the pride of representing their institutions.

A Campus Where Students Train Like Athletes

The matches will unfold at Somaiya Sports Academy, where five professional squash courts host national-level competition and daily training. In India, squash facilities often cluster in private clubs. Shri Samir Somaiya, Chancellor of Somaiya Vidyavihar University and a squash enthusiast since his Cornell days, played an important role in shaping the campus’s world-class squash facilities, giving student-athletes a rare advantage. Training, practice, and national-level competition unfold within the same campus ecosystem where students attend classes, collaborate with peers, and build their academic futures.

Beyond the courts, the sports infrastructure supports athletes with professional-level warm-up areas, conditioning spaces, and recovery facilities designed to sustain high-intensity competition.
