Global Snooker Countries - France

Snooker in Europe is on the up and up and France are now amongst the leading European snooker nations.

French players compete in all major international competitions, including the Euro Tour, Continental Cup, European Championships, World Championships and they have just completed their third year as a guest team in the Home Internationals. The French ladies are currently ahead of their male counterparts, already making inroads in World Ladies Events. Playing as guests in Pontins in 2000, the French girls finished second to England and Angelique Viliard won the Plate Trophy a World Ladies Ranking event.

Such is the enthusiasm, that France has launched its own snooker newsgroup - a sort of French ASS! Visit them at fr.rec.sport.billard

In the summer of 2004 France proved their status as a mainstream snooker country, when Yannick Poulain became the first Frenchman to qualify for the WSA Challenge Tour
