Congratulations to Liu Junyan on capturing the “Goldlion Cup & Kangxi Shengshi & LiberWin Cloth” 2026 Huacai World Open title after a thrilling 23-19 victory over Sheng Yichen in the final.

Liu produced a composed and determined performance to lift the trophy and claim the top prize of £500,000, securing his place in the history books as the latest Huacai World Open champion.

Congratulations to both finalists on a fantastic tournament and an outstanding showcase of Heyball.

The event also attracted the attention of arguably snooker’s greatest-ever player, Ronnie O’Sullivan, who competed in his first-ever Heyball tournament. Reaching the Last 32 on his debut was a remarkable achievement and provided fantastic exposure for the sport, helping showcase Heyball to a global audience and introducing the game to countless new fans around the world.
