WNT Launches Inaugural Philippines Open Pool Championship
 Posted on Monday, June 16 2025 @ 10:55:28 UTCby admin
9 Ball THRILLER IN MANILA: WORLD NINEBALL TOUR LAUNCHES
INAUGURAL PHILIPPINES OPEN POOL CHAMPIONSHIP – 21–26 OCTOBER


The World Nineball Tour continues its global expansion with the launch of the first-ever Philippines Open Pool Championship, a brand-new Matchroom Major taking place 21–26 October 2025 at Gateway Mall, Quezon City, Manila — right in the heart of the capital.

In partnership with Puyat Sports, the Philippines Open follows hot on the heels of the Reyes Cup (16–19 October), making Manila the hub of world-class pool this October. The event will be broadcast live on One Sport, WNT TV, and through the World Nineball Tour’s global partners, bringing the action to fans both locally and worldwide.

TICKETS AVAILABLE SOON – SIGN UP FOR ALERTS HERE


A landmark moment for the sport in Southeast Asia, this historic tournament puts the Philippines — one of nineball’s most passionate nations — firmly on the Tour’s centre stage. Top international stars will battle it out in what promises to be a thrilling new chapter in the World Nineball Tour calendar.

With Manila joining global host cities like Hanoi, Orlando, and London, this latest addition further strengthens the Tour’s international presence and cements the Philippines’ status as a powerhouse in professional pool. It also offers homegrown talent a rare opportunity to shine in front of a roaring local crowd.

Johann Chua, reigning Hanoi Open champion and 2024 Reyes Cup winner, said: “To now have a Matchroom Major here in the Philippines means everything to us as Filipino players. The crowd in Manila is one of a kind — we’ve felt their passion at the Reyes Cup, and now we get to play for them again. It’s going to be electric.”

Mr Aristeo “Putch” Puyat, commented: “The Philippines has long been a proud home of world-class billiards, and this new chapter with the World Nineball Tour is a dream realised for Filipino fans and players alike. Hosting a Matchroom Major here is not just an honour — it’s a testament to our enduring love for the sport. We look forward to welcoming the world to Manila, where passion for pool runs deep and history is about to be made.”

Emily Frazer, CEO of Matchroom Multi Sport, added: “Launching the Philippines Open Pool Championship is a huge milestone for the World Nineball Tour. We’re proud to partner with Puyat Sports to bring this major event to Manila — a city rich in pool history and home to one of the sport’s most passionate fanbases. This tournament will give local stars the spotlight they deserve and welcome the global nineball community to the Philippines for what promises to be an unforgettable week. Tickets will be on sale very soon, and I’d urge fans to sign up and be ready — you won’t want to miss this.”

Details including ticketing, tournament format, and the full player line-up will be revealed in the coming weeks. Fans are encouraged to register for ticket alerts now to avoid missing out.

Don’t miss your chance to be part of history — the first-ever Philippines Open is coming this October.
