DUONG AND SANCHEZ RUIZ COMPLETE TEAMS FOR THE INAUGURAL REYES CUP

PhilBoxing.com


The countdown starts for Team Asia vs Team Europe, October 15-18

Duong Quoc Hoang and Francisco Sanchez Ruiz have been confirmed as the final players for Team Asia and Team Europe, respectively, completing both teams for the highly anticipated inaugural Reyes Cup.

This landmark event will see Asia’s finest players face off against Europe’s best at the spectacular Ninoy Aquino National Stadium in Manila, Philippines, with coverage broadcast globally, through local broadcaster Cignal TV, as well Sky Sports across the UK.

Duong Quoc Hoang, one of Vietnam’s top players, has been chosen as the final wildcard for Team Asia. Known for his composed, tactical play and precision, Duong, the reigning Scottish Open Champion, is set to play a pivotal role in his team's campaign.

Duong commented: "I can’t believe it! To be picked for Team Asia in the first ever Reyes Cup is a dream come true. Representing my country on the global stage is an honour I take great pride in, and I’m excited for the challenge of facing Europe’s best."

Completing Team Europe is one of the sport’s most accomplished players, Francisco Sanchez Ruiz. The former World Champion and a two-time Mosconi Cup winner, ‘El Ferrari’ Ruiz has a wealth of experience, which will make him an invaluable asset to Team Europe.

Captain of Team Europe, Karl Boyes stated: "It wasn’t easy, but ultimately, Francisco was the right choice. What he has achieved on the World Nineball Tour is nothing short of remarkable, and his experience in events like Mosconi Cup, gives us an edge. I’m confident he will be a key player in this historic clash against Team Asia."

Duong will join fellow Asian stars Carlo Biado, Johann Chua, Aloysius Yapp, and Ko Pin Yi, while Sanchez Ruiz completes a formidable Team Europe, alongside Mosconi Cup veterans Jayson Shaw, Joshua Filler, Eklent Kaçi, and the ‘Danish Viking’ Mickey Krause.

The Reyes Cup, taking place from October 15-18 at the Ninoy Aquino National Stadium in Manila, Philippines, will pit the best players from Team Asia against Team Europe in a thrilling four-day team format inspired by the Mosconi Cup. The event honours the legendary Efren ‘Bata’ Reyes, widely regarded as the greatest pool player of all time.

With the both teams now finalised, the stage is set for an epic showdown at the spectacular Ninoy Aquino National Stadium in Manila. Fans can register for ticket alerts for the inaugural Reyes Cup here.

Full ticket details will be announced soon.
