## Resource

In this episode of Global Economic Press, Alex Brady discusses a significant development in the world of sports with the inclusion of billiards in the South American Games. This historic milestone, announced by the World Pool Association, marks a new era for billiards, elevating it to international prominence and paving the way for future opportunities in major global sporting events. The inclusion is a testament to the dedication and perseverance of athletes, officials, coaches, and federations who have worked tirelessly to elevate billiards to the highest international platforms. This achievement is seen as a crucial step towards realizing the Olympic dream for billiards, opening doors for its presence in the Pan American Games Lima 2027. The World Pool Association extends its gratitude to the South American Sports Organization, the Argentine Olympic Committee, and the authorities of Santa Fe and Rosario for their support in making this dream a reality. The association also announced the World Pool Association Junior and Parasport Heyball World Championships 2026, set to take place in Oslo, further advancing the global youth pathway and vision toward the Brisbane 2032 Olympic inclusion.
