From May 1 to 5, 2025, Odessa will host the international billiards tournament dedicated to the Mayor's Cup. 

This event is part of the Ukrainian Cup for both men and women. 

«This is not just a competition; it’s a continuation of a great cultural tradition where the refined game brings together people of character. In the past, great figures like Churchill and Roosevelt, Hemingway and Chaplin gathered around the billiard table. Today, we gather once again in Odessa to support our athletes and veterans, who defended Ukraine and now demonstrate their spirit through the game. I invite everyone! Come to the «Arena» Billiard Club to experience an atmosphere of respect, competition, and intellect», - stated Odessa's mayor, Gennady Trukhanov.
