The 2026 European 3-cushion Champion now partners with Iwan Simonis and Aramith, opening a new chapter for this family dynasty that revolutionized the world of billiards.

Peter Ceulemans is the grandson of the legendary Raymond Ceulemans, widely regarded as the greatest carom billiards player of all time. His father, Koen, and his uncle, Kurt, continued to honour his legacy by competing at the highest levels on both the national and international stages.

Peter Ceulemans is now the figurehead of this family dynasty. He began playing carom billiards at the age of 5 and started competing at the age of 13. He remains today one of the very few top UMB athletes to compete professionally while maintaining a second career as a company executive.

Training regularly in his free time, Peter’s consistency helped him claim a historic first individual Belgian National Title in 2024 in Blankenberge, followed by a podium at the UMB World Cup in Veghel a few months later. Another podium at the 2025 UMB World Cup in Sharm El Sheikh confirmed he was taking his game to the next level among the world’s elite.

In March 2026, Peter won his first major international title in Antalya, completing a remarkable comeback victory against another Belgian carom legend, Eddy Merckx. In May 2026, he won the Belgian Cup vs. Roland Forthomme. In June 2026, Peter was ranked No. 1 in the Belgian events ranking, No. 2 in the CEB ranking and No. 10 in the UMB World player rankings.

We are proud at Simonis and Aramith to start this new partnership with this talented player who is highly respected by his peers and who inspires many players.
