Welcome to the


Barceló Hotels & Resorts World Pool Championships


Blackpool once again plays host to the world’s premier eight-ball pool event and I am delighted to welcome you here to theWorld Pool Championships, which for the first time is proudly sponsored by Barceló Hotels & Resorts, a privately owned Spanish group, managing over 185 hotels across 17 countries and 4 continents.


We have hosted this event at the Barceló Blackpool Imperial Hotel for the last five years and have developed a long and fruitful relationship with the sport of Pool which is undoubtedly one of the most popular in the country.


This year’s event, like those that have gone before, has been organised by the host country’s English Pool Association on behalf of the world governing body, theWorld Eightball Pool Federation, and I would like to thank both these organisations for their continued commitment and support.


This event is set to be the most exciting yet, with for the first ever time, “Live Streaming” via the internet, to ensure those who will not be here in Blackpool have the same opportunity to enjoy all the action and excitement of the No 1 event in Pool – Barceló Hotels & ResortsWorld Eightball Pool Championships.
