From May 1 to May 5, 2025, the City Mayor's Cup for billiards will be held in Odessa. 

This event is part of the Ukrainian Cup for both men and women. 

«This is more than just a competition. It's a continuation of a rich cultural tradition where an intelligent, precise, and elegant game gathers people of character. Once, at the billiard table, great figures like Churchill and Roosevelt, Hemingway and Chaplin would meet. Today, we gather again in Odessa to connect, converse, and support our athletes and veterans who defended Ukraine and now demonstrate their spirit in the game. I invite everyone interested to join us. Come to the «Arena» billiard club and feel the atmosphere of respect, competition, and intellect», remarked the Mayor of Odessa, Gennady Trukhanov.
