Tarek Momen, the former world No. 3 in men's squash and the 2019 World Champion, has announced his retirement from the sport at the age of 37, after 20 years of competing in PSA tournaments.

Momen played 648 matches during his career, winning 418 of them. He claimed 11 titles out of 37 finals and participated in 236 tournaments. 

Between 2018 and 2025, he reached the quarterfinals in 86 out of the last 97 tournaments he played.

He won the 2019 World Championship title in Doha, Qatar, after a dramatic comeback in the quarterfinals against Abdulla Al-Tamimi, where he was trailing 2–1 in games and 6–2 in the fourth game.

He went on to defeat Peru’s Diego Elias and Germany’s Simon Rösner before overcoming Paul Coll in the final to achieve his childhood dream.

In his career, he won three major titles in the last two years, including two in Qatar and the Windsor tournament.

He claimed the St. George’s Hill Gold title in 2018, along with two Silver titles in Canada and India.
