THE BEST SQUASH IN THE WORLD SINCE 1999
The Motor City Squash & Education Foundation welcomes you to The 2025 Motor City Open (MCO) presented by DR 21. DR 21 is a foundation created in loving memory of Darryl Rogers. DR 21 is dedicated to carrying forward his personal legacy by giving back to the community, specifically youth sports. Beginning Tuesday February 4th through Saturday February 8th. Celebrating our 25th edition of the Motor City Open including some of the finest squash in the world. Our 24 man field, often include several players in the world’s top 10, fighting their way through five days of competition to identify our 2025 Champion.
The Professional Squash Association (PSA) designated the MCO an International 70 tournament, making it one of the most important tour stops in North America. The main draw has consistently been one of the toughest on tour showcasing players ranked in the top 25 in the world and the list of past champions is a virtual “Who’s who” of the squash world; including David Palmer and Jonathan Power to some of our more recent champions like Diego Elias, current #3 and 4 time successive champion.
We are especially grateful to our Title Sponsor, DR 21, our newest title sponsor. In addition, we would like to acknowledge all of our sponsors and volunteers for their recurring commitment to our event in the great Motor City. Please join us for the Sponsor Party on Tuesday, February 4th, and meet those responsible for making our tournament a success.
As always, the MCO sponsors a charity this year benefiting RacquetUp Detroit, an important urban squash and education initiative. Moreover, the Motor City Open, in conjunction with the support of the DeRoy Testamentary Foundation, has arranged for a junior squash clinic with the pros on Saturday, February 8th. The BAC opens its courts to all junior players in the region for this clinic in an effort to give local junior squash players a chance to learn from the best in the world.
We would like to thank the Board and Membership of the Birmingham Athletic Club for their enthusiastic support as host club for this world-class event. The BAC management and staff have, as always, distinguished themselves with their efforts to make the event a pleasure to attend and one that is known on the pro circuit as one of the best club-based tournaments in the world.
Finally, to the members of MCO Committee thank you!
