Vietnamese cueist Tran Quyet Chien is in the second place in the UMB Events Ranking and is third in the World Players Ranking, following his third place in the HCM City World Cup Billiards Carom 3-Cushion 2025.

This six-day tournament is a significant milestone as it is not only the first to take place in Vietnam but also allows domestic cueists, both professional and amateur, to compete alongside the world’s top players.

Nguyen Thanh Nam joins 2025 World Championship qualifiers and coaches elite players in national effort.

Tran Quyet Chien and Bao Phuong Vinh put up a strong fight but were narrowly defeated by Dutch players in the 2025 World Three-Cushion Carom Billiards Team Championship final.

However, it was Luc who emerged as the champion, becoming only the third Vietnamese player - after Chien and Minh - to claim this prestigious title.

The World Games has become the second-most important global multi-sport event in the world, holding disciplines that are not in the programme of the Olympic Games.

From an underdog to a champion, Tran Thanh Luc outplayed world number one Dick Jaspers and Turkish star Tayfun Tasdemir to win the World Cup.

After a landmark 2024 season with multiple international titles, Vietnamese billiards player Tran Quyet Chien is focused on reclaiming the world number one ranking in carom 3-cushion billiards in 2025.
