Dafabet returns as title sponsor for the World Pool Masters, hosting at Europa Sports Park in Gibraltar from May 22 to 25. Broadcasts on Sky Sports, DAZN, and Matchroom.Live will reach digital audiences worldwide, including millions via social media. A $100,000 prize fund draws 24 elite international figures to compete for one of pool's most established honors.
Established Sponsorship Partnership
Dafabet backed the event in 2017 and 2019, when David Alcaide clinched victory by banking the 9-ball in a gripping finale before a lively audience. This marks the third collaboration, reflecting sustained investment in pool's premier invitational format. Organizers credit such partnerships for enabling safe delivery and boundary-pushing growth amid global disruptions.
Elite International Field
The lineup features standout names like Fedor Gorst, Jayson Shaw, Albin Ouschan, and David Alcaide, who seeks to repeat past triumphs. These gatherings assemble pool's finest from across continents, fostering intense displays of precision and strategy. Such concentrations of expertise sustain the discipline's prestige and inspire emerging enthusiasts.
Expanded Global Reach
Live coverage extends to traditional television and streaming, amplifying visibility for pool's dedicated followers. Emily Frazer, Managing Director of Matchroom Multi Sport, emphasized the value: “We are thrilled to have Dafabet on board again for the World Pool Masters. We always enjoy working with the team and their support of the event helps us to continue to push boundaries and take pool to every corner of the globe. We’re excited for the Dafabet World Pool Masters to return to global TV audiences and a digital audience of millions following the action across our social media platforms.”
Executive Endorsement and Schedule
John Cruces, Head of Sponsorships at Dafabet, stated: “We’re very happy to be the title sponsors of this year’s tournament. It’s the third time we’ve sponsored the event and we’ve always been happy with the coverage we’ve received. A lot of credit has to be given to the Matchroom team for being able to ensure the tournament takes place safely. We wish all the players the best of luck.” Action commences at 6:30 p.m. local time on May 22, culminating in a champion by evening on May 25.
