On the international level, Ibrahim got the sixth place in the British National Squash Championships, the world’s biggest squash championships in the U15 division. He also added another win to his rich record by getting the first place in the Arab International Squash Championship which was hosted by Egypt earlier this year. That’s when he started training regularly, not knowing that only 12 years separated him from being Egypt’s best junior squash player. What adds to the pressure on squash players from Negm’s point of view is the lack of media support and coverage as well. Despite the fact that seven out of the ten best squash players worldwide are Egyptians, local media outlets still neglect spotlighting the game, instead focusing on football.
