At the Moskvich Billiards Sports Palace on Volgogradsky Avenue (house 46/15, building 16), from October 9 to 17, the 20th billiards tournament “Kremlin Cup” will take place, which has the status of a World Cup.
This is one of the most prestigious events in the world of billiards. It was held for the first time in 2005 and has established itself as the main billiards forum in Russia and Europe.
The competition, in which the best athletes from 12 countries are expected to participate, is held under the auspices of the International Pyramid Confederation and the Russian Billiards Sports Federation.
For nine days, spectators will be able to watch matches in three disciplines — “combined pyramid,” “free pyramid,” and “pool-10.”
Athlete accreditation, training sessions, and the electronic drawing of participants will take place on October 9, and the tournament’s opening ceremony will be held on October 10. A small cultural program has been prepared for the guests.
The Kremlin Cup matches will take place from October 10 to 17, with the final matches and the awards ceremony for the winners and runners-up scheduled for October 17.
Entry to the event is free. You can learn more about the competitions at link.
The organizers of the tournament are Moscow City Department of Sports and the Moscow Billiards Sports Union. The event aligns with the objectives of the Russian Federation’s state programs “Development of Physical Culture and Sports” and “Sport of Russia.” One of these goals is to increase the share of citizens regularly engaged in physical culture and sports to 70 percent by 2030. The capital makes a decisive contribution to achieving this target. Special attention is given to the close proximity of infrastructure to homes, support for families with children, as well as the integration into the sports community of participants and veterans of the special military operation and their family members.
