The WPA World Eight-ball Championship was a professional eight-ball pool tournament sanctioned by the World Pool-Billiard Association (WPA), contested from 2004 to 2012 in Fujairah, United Arab Emirates.[1][2] After not being held for several years, it was announced by the WPA that the championship would return in 2017, to be held at the Olympic Centre in Jinan, China.[3] However, that event did not occur, and the championship has remained dormant since its 2012 edition.
