The Gwangju World Cup 2025, a prestigious UMB 3-Cushion World Cup event, will take place from November 3 to 9, 2025, at Bitgoeul Gymnasium in Gwangju, South Korea.
Featuring 14 top-seeded players based on the UMB Events Ranking (May 2025 edition)—including Dick Jaspers (NED), Eddy Merckx (BEL), Marco Zanetti (ITA), and Vietnam’s Trần Quyết Chiến and Trần Thanh Lực—the tournament also includes 1 CPB wildcard and 2 organizer wildcards. A maximum of 132 players may enter the qualification rounds.
Qualifiers progress through four stages (PPPQ to Q) in groups of 3 with equal innings, from 30 to 40 points. The main draw features 32 players in a group stage (1/16) followed by knockout matches (50 points, no equal innings).
Matches are played under a 40-second shot clock on Hollywood tables with Simonis 330 Prestige cloth and Dynaspheres balls. Live streaming is available on SOOP.
Seeded and wildcard players receive 5 nights of complimentary single-room accommodation with breakfast. Entry fee: €100 (cash, before first match). Registration deadline: October 13, 2025; wildcard deadline: October 6, 2025.
