Asian Squash Federation

The Asian Squash Federation was formed on November 29, 1980 at the suggestion of Pakistan and the "First Meeting of Squash Playing Nations of Asia", held in Karachi. The founder members were Bahrain, Bangladesh, Malaysia, Pakistan, Philippines, Singapore, and Thailand.

Pakistan provided the first president, the headquarters, and the secretariat. The principles and objects of the ASF are:
