Home player Bai Yulu last year became only the sixth player ever to successfully defend the crown following a 6-4 victory against Thailand’s Mink Nutcharut in the final of the biggest World Women’s Snooker Championship staged to date.
The landmark tournament saw the largest entry for a WWS event this century, with 74 players having competed in world class conditions before large crowds of spectators throughout the week.
This year’s 43rd staging is set to welcome leading players from around the globe to the state-of-the-art Dongguan Changping Snooker Center for the first time.
With the tournament open to all women players, of any age, nationality or level of experience, WWS and its partners remain committed to the global development of women’s snooker and the creation of inclusive opportunities for women and girls to play the sport competitively.
Alongside the main competition, the event will also include the staging of the Under-21 and Seniors World Championship tournaments, won last year by Thailand’s Panchaya Channoi and England’s Tessa Davidson respectively.
