The Professional Squash Association (PSA) has renewed its partnership with Dunlop for a further three years which will see Dunlop’s role as the Official Ball, Racket, String, Grip and Bag Partner of the PSA continue until the end of the 2022-2023 season.

Dunlop will continue to receive extensive on-site branding at all of the sport’s major tournaments as well as enhanced activation opportunities at some of squash’s premier events, including the PSA World Championship, CIB PSA World Tour Finals and Allam British Open.

The new agreement will also see the PSA and Dunlop work together closely to activate the partnership outside of tournaments too, with increased focus on the digital channels of both organisations and the planned launch of new co-branded products.
