The 2023 World Champion now partners with Strachan and Aramith with the ambition to climb back the rankings and to capture again the ultimate prize at the Crucible.

Known as the “Belgian Bullet”, Luca Brecel had already made history long before becoming World Champion. At just 14 years-old, he became the youngest-ever European Under-19 champion, announcing his arrival on the international stage.

At the age of 17 and 45 days, just one year after turning professional, he became the youngest player ever to compete at the Crucible, breaking Stephen Hendry’s long-standing record. Luca also became the youngest player to make a century break at the crucible during his debut match, which he eventually lost against Stephen Maguire.

Luca went on to claim 3 ranking titles before making history at the 2023 WST World Championship where he won 11 straight frames during the final against Mark Selby and completed a 17–15 comeback. It marked the first time in Crucible history that a player had recovered from such a position, securing one of the most iconic finals in snooker history. He became the first mainland European World Champion.

Since then, many things have been said about Luca’s performance inconsistencies and withdrawals from some events which made him disappear from the rankings. One thing remained the same though: his passion for the sport and his fighting spirit.

Luca Brecel is getting back in shape and is ready to open a new chapter.
