Dear Ladies and Gentlemen, dear Billiard Friends,

It gives me great pleasure to welcome you all to Viersen for the 2025 World Championships Three Cushion for National Teams. For decades, this beautiful town of Viersen has been at the heart of this traditional tournament, which brings together the best billiard players from all over the world.

This world championship is not only a competition at the highest sporting level, but also a celebration of international friendship and fair play. Athletes from many different nations come together here to measure their skills, but also to experience the fascination of our sport together.

My special thanks go to those responsible in the town of Viersen for the decades of close and trusting cooperation. The same applies, of course, to the Union Mondiale de Billard (UMB) with its President Farouk Barki.

I would also like to thank the numerous helpers, the organizers and the sponsors who make this great event possible in the first place.

I wish all participating teams exciting matches, lots of success and unforgettable moments for our spectators in Viersen.

With best regards

Enrico Wahle
President of the German Billiard-Union
