Malta Crowned World Pool Team Shootout Champions For The First Time

Malta has made history by winning the World Team Shootout for the first time, defeating defending champions Wales 5–4 in a thrilling final in Ennis.

After three consecutive final defeats in previous years, Malta finally claimed the trophy, completing a remarkable “Revenge Tour” by beating all three teams that had previously denied them the title: Ireland (2022 champions) in the quarter-finals, Northern Ireland (2023 champions) in the semi-finals, and Wales (2024 champions) in the final.

Wales put up a magnificent fight in their attempt to defend the title, but it was Malta’s night. This historic victory marks a fairytale achievement for Maltese pool, finally seeing them lift the trophy after years of near misses.

Malta Pool Association said, “In a dramatic final, Malta edged Wales 5–4 to claim the World Team Shootout title for the first time after four consecutive final appearances. The team delivered a solid performance, maintaining momentum right up to the final gong.”

In the post ultimate pool concluded, “The night belongs to Malta – 𝘗𝘳𝘰𝘴𝘪𝘵!”
