The recent ranking of all 23 World Cups from worst to best has sparked a lot of debate among sports fans, and while squash enthusiasts may not be directly invested in the outcome, it's interesting to consider how this kind of ranking can impact the way we think about major tournaments in our own sport. The fact that Spain's dominant performance in 2026 is being held up as a standard of excellence says a lot about what fans and pundits value in a championship - exciting matches, dominant performances, and a sense of drama and tension.

The World Cup ranking is also a reminder that squash has its own rich history of major tournaments, from the British Open to the World Squash Championships. While the sport may not have the same global reach as soccer, there's no denying the passion and dedication of squash fans, and the excitement that comes with watching the world's top players compete at the highest level. As squash continues to grow and evolve as a sport, it will be interesting to see how it adopts and adapts the kinds of rankings and evaluations that are so popular in other sports.

As we look to the future of squash, it will be worth watching how the sport's governing bodies and major tournaments respond to the kinds of rankings and evaluations that are so popular in other sports. Will we see more emphasis on head-to-head matchups and dominant performances, or will the sport prioritize other factors, such as sportsmanship and fair play? Whatever the approach, one thing is certain - squash fans will be eagerly watching and debating the outcomes, and looking for ways to engage with the sport they love.
