The World Snooker Federation Championship, simply known as the WSF Championship, is an annual amateur snooker tournament held by the World Snooker Federation. ^[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. ^[2] The winners of the Open and Junior Championship are promoted to the World Snooker Tour. ^{[3] [4]}

History

In 2017, the World Professional Billiards and Snooker Association (WPBSA) launched the World Snooker Federation (WSF), bringing together professional and amatuer players, with an ambition to have the sport included in the Olympic and Paralympic games. ^[5] WSF competitions also provide a pathway for players to join the World Snooker Tour. ^[5]

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. ^[6] Luo Honghao won the event, beating Adam Stefanów in the final ^[7] with Kristján Helgason and Kacper Filipiak as the losing semifinalists. ^[8]

The WSF Open and WSF Junior Open tournaments were established in 2020. ^[5]

In 2024, Ka Wai Cheung defeated Gao Yang 5–0 in the final to secure the title and his status as a main tour professional for the first time. ^{[9] [10] [11]}

The competition saw the addition of the Women's event for the first time in 2025; ^[12] it was held along with the Open and Junior events in Morocco.
