Cue sports fans are in for a rare treat as four of snooker’s biggest stars, Judd Trump, Zhao Xintong, Mark Allen and John Higgins, come together for a special Heyball exhibition staged alongside the Joy Cup World Heyball Masters Grand Finals. Hosted at the spectacular Qinhuangdao Olympic Sports Centre, the exhibition blends elite snooker pedigree with one of the fastest-growing cue sports in the world, highlighting the increasing crossover appeal between snooker and Heyball while bringing fresh audiences and global visibility to the discipline.

The exhibition is presented by Liber Win and JOY, two major forces in the international development of cue sports. Their collaboration reflects a shared commitment to expanding Heyball’s global footprint and delivering premium experiences for fans around the world. Supporters everywhere will be able to watch the action live via the WHT Facebook page, YouTube and WPA Live TV, ensuring the showcase reaches audiences across every major market.

Adding extra drama to the occasion, the players will compete in a team format that brings a fresh tactical edge and fast-paced excitement. Team “Dragon Roar” will be captained by Zhang Kunpeng, while Team “Tiger Howl” will be led by Xue Zhenqi. The structure creates a different dynamic from traditional individual competition and promises creative shot-making, momentum swings and engaging team strategy throughout.
