PhilBoxing.com




A new rivalry is born – The World unites to battle on Team Asia in Manila, October 16-19 2025

World Number One Fedor Gorst and reigning World Champion Carlo Biado are the first confirmed players for the second edition of the Reyes Cup, set to face off once again following their thrilling clash in this year’s World Pool Championship final.

In partnership with Puyat Sports, the 2025 Reyes Cup will once again set to electrify the Ninoy Aquino Stadium in Manila. Fans can catch all the action live on Sky Sports, One Sports, and WNT TV, with further broadcast information to be announced soon.

Fresh off his World Pool Championship victory, Carlo Biado rises to second on the rankings and will once again carry the flag for Team Asia. Unlike in 2024, when he was a wildcard, Biado now secures his spot through the rankings, setting him up to defend the Reyes Cup title on home soil.

Biado commented: “I’m so proud to be back for the Reyes Cup, this time as a top-ranked qualifier. Winning the World Championship gave me so much confidence, and to now represent Team Asia again, in front of our home fans in Manila, is very special. Facing Fedor again will be exciting – I’m ready for another big battle.”

Fedor Gorst has secured his place as the top-ranked player heading into the Reyes Cup. Making his debut in the transcontinental spectacle, Gorst will spearhead the new Team Rest of the World as they prepare to take down title defenders Team Asia.

Gorst said: “It feels incredible to qualify as World Number One and to make my Reyes Cup debut. This is such a huge event for our sport, and I can’t wait to lead Team Rest of the World into battle. We know Team Asia will be strong, but I believe we have what it takes to make history in Manila.”


With both Biado and Gorst confirmed, fans can look forward to a repeat clash of this year’s World Pool Championship final, where Biado defeated Gorst to claim the world title. Will Gorst seize redemption, or can Biado and Team Asia defend their crown?

There remain two more qualification spots for each team, which will be confirmed at the conclusion of the Hanoi Open Pool Championship (7–12 October 2025), alongside the final wildcard selections.

The 2025 Reyes Cup takes place 16–19 October at Manila’s Ninoy Aquino Stadium, with live coverage on Sky Sports, One Sports, and WNT TV. Further event information, including broadcast details and sessions times will be announced soon.
