Jeddah is scheduled to host two rounds of the World Pool Championship and the Snooker Masters Championship in July and August 2025. These events come as part of a strategic partnership between the Saudi Billiard and Snooker Federation and Matchroom Sport, in collaboration with the World Nineball Tour (WNT) and the World Snooker Tour (WST), and under the supervision of the Ministry of Sport.
The World Pool Championship, returning for the second consecutive year, will be held from July 21 to 26 at the Green Sports Hall in Jeddah. It will feature the world’s top 100 players competing for a total prize pool of $1 million.
The Snooker Masters Championship, ranked as the fourth most prestigious tournament on the professional snooker calendar, will be held from August 8 to 16. It will bring together 128 professional players from around the world, along with 16 Saudi players. The total prize pool for the event will be two million British pounds, making it the second most valuable event in terms of prize money on the 2025 World Snooker Tour.
These tournaments are part of the Ministry of Sport’s ongoing efforts to boost the Kingdom’s global presence in specialised sports, in line with the goals of the Saudi Vision 2030 to empower the sport sector and expand its economic and social impact.
