ALBANIA - CAROM IS EXPANDING
Carom is expanding ! Thanks to the help of Zeki, the biggest billiard manufacturer in Türkiye, CEB has been able to provide 2 Carom match tables to the Albanian Billiard Federation.


    
"One of the most important ways to achieve best results in sports is collaboration and support. This is what Mrs. Diane Wild (President of the CEB) did for the Albanian Billiard & Snooker Federation, she gave life to Carom in Albania. Understanding our circumstances, needs and problems as a federation Mrs. Diane Wild made possible that Albanian Billiard & Snooker Federation have two new Carom tables. In 15th to 17th of December 2023, we organized “Arena Cup” (Snooker & Pool), where we included Carom. Masters of Carom in Albania were elevated to finally after years they would have the opportunity to participate in such competition. It was noticed a huge interest from young players to understand and learn the discipline from professionals.
A special thanks goes to the Turkish Brand "Zeki Billiard", Rainer Selgrath (Treasurer of CEB), Ümit Özkul (Board member of CEB), Stefano Malacrita (Sports Director of CEB) and Jean-Pierre Guiraud (General Secretray of CEB) for the support and making possible the promotion of Carom in Albania."
