Play gets underway on Saturday 6th July with men and women contesting

the straight pool division and continues to its conclusion on Tuesday

16th with the 9 ball finals.

Commented Tommy Lamminaho, the EPBF’s Sports Director, "A strong field

is arriving to Slovenia again to battle for the European Championships

which shows, not only the importance of the event for the national

federations, but also the ever-growing number of World Ranking events to

which you can qualify for by succeeding at the Europeans.

“Every four years, the qualification for the World Games is there and

for the first time the discipline will be 10-ball and the top ranked

athletes in men & women from this EC will represent their country at the

World Games in Chengdu, China in 2025."

There are sure to be some epic battles throughout the 11 days of

competition as all four divisions are packed with talent. The likes of

Joshua Filler, Francesco Sanchez-Ruiz, Mario He, Niels Feijen, Sanjin

Pehlivanovic and Wojciech Szewczyk are just some of the names populating

the men’s division.

In the women’s events, the best players on the continent are competing,

including Ina Kaplan, Pia Filler, local hope Ana Gradisnik, Oliwia

Zalewska and Bojana Sarac. The wheelchair division is headed up by Jouni
