LONGONI SET TO TITLE SPONSOR ITALIAN OPEN
WITH THE OPENING event on the 2025 EuroTour calendar scheduled to get underway on Thursday 6th February, the EPBF are delighted to announce that long-standing Italian billiard company Longoni srl will be title sponsors of both the men’s and ladies’ tournaments. Henceforth the tournaments will be known as the Longoni Italian Open.
Longoni, who is celebrating 80 years in business in 2025, has a long association with the EPBF which in more recent times manifested itself as the Longoni 9-ball League, a fun team event which took place prior to each EuroTour tournament.
Commented Pierluigi Longoni, the esteemed company head, “We are excited to renew our collaboration with the EPBF, with whom we have had a strong partnership for several years.
“Thanks to this collaboration, we have the opportunity to further expand the visibility of our brand among European pool players, especially the new generations. We are also happy to announce that, starting this year, Predator, with whom we share a long-standing relationship, will be even more involved in the European circuit, bringing new opportunities and exciting challenges.”
Appropriately, Longoni is title-sponsoring in their home country, a fact that elicits some pride, “This year, our brand proudly celebrates 80 years of activity, and we are excited to dedicate even more focus to pool, a sector in which we have been growing for over 30 years.
“Seeing our brand sponsor the first European tournament of the year is a great source of motivation and opens the door to new challenges. Today, the Longoni brand is widely recognized worldwide, but our goal is to further strengthen our presence in the world of pool and beyond.”
