Francois Hanekom

Started playing in May 2022 at Age 10 under the watchful eye of coach Sean Wathen. Won first Namibian under 19 junior tournament at age 11. Won Boland Junior Open, Western Province Junior Open and Technifibre Junior Open in South Africa at age 12 . Won South African Junior open for boys under 15 at age 14, and then moved to Boys under 19 Division . Finished 2nd at Boland Junior Open and African Junior Open for boys under 19 . Won my first Senior tournament in namibia in August 2026 and moved to no 2 in Namibia Senior Men rankings. Also represented Namibia at the Jarvis Kaplan Interprovincial tournament as the youngest player in the tournament ever.

Finished my year as under 15 with a World ranking of No 11. 

My career now moves to a focus on the PSA tour . I believe that getting into that level of competition as early as possible will fast pace my improvement and get me comfortable with playing at that level. 

Squash is my life and besides squash i do like playing a bit of Golf. Its a fantastic game to learn to control your thoughts and emotions , and its ideal as a rest day activity..

Its day one of my career as a PSA player.. LETS GO....
