Riyadh Season Snooker Championship Returns To Saudi Arabia

Riyadh Season will once again welcome the best snooker players on the planet from December 18th to 20th when the 2024 Riyadh Season Snooker Championship takes place in Boulevard City.

The tournament was staged for the first time in March 2024 following a historic agreement between His Excellency Turki Alalshikh, Chairman of the General Entertainment Authority (GEA),and the World Snooker Tour.

Famously, the tournament included a unique Gold Ball, which was worth 20 points and could only be potted at the end of a maximum 147, creating the possibility for a player to score a break of 167 which would have been the highest in the history of snooker.

The Riyadh Season Snooker Championship invitation event will welcome the top ten players on snooker’s official ranking list at the end of the 2024 UK Championship on December 1st. There are still three counting events to go, so the chasing pack still have time to climb into the top ten of the Race to Riyadh and earn a place in this exciting tournament.

In March, snooker’s all-time greatest player Ronnie O’Sullivan lifted the trophy after beating John Higgins and Judd Trump to reach the final before a 5-2 victory over Luca Brece
