[1] There are currently three categories of events: the Open Championship for all ages and genders, the under-19 Junior Championship and the WWS-ranked Women's Championship.

History

The inaugural WSF Championship was held from 18 to 24 March 2018 in Qawra, Malta. The two finalists received a Main Tour Card for the 2018/2019 season while the four semi-finalists received an invitation to compete in the 2018 World Snooker Championship. Prize money for the event was €28,300. [5] Luo Honghao won the event, beating Adam Stefanów in the final [6] with Kristján Helgason and Kacper Filipiak as the losing semifinalists. [7]

In 2024, Ka Wai Cheung has defeated Gao Yang 5–0 in the final to secure the title and his status as a main tour professional for the first time. [8] [9] [10]

The competition sees the addition of the Women's event for the first time in 2025, which was held along with the Open and Junior event in Morocco.
