In a landmark moment for women’s snooker, Mandy Fisher, President of World Women’s Snooker (WWS), has made a major announcement celebrating Chinese snooker superstar Bai Yulu. Fisher revealed that Bai will take on a prominent new role within the organization, serving as a global ambassador and champion for youth development in the sport.

Fisher, who has guided the growth of women’s snooker worldwide for decades, praised Bai’s rise as a symbol of the sport’s expanding reach and elite competitiveness. “Bai Yulu’s achievements on and off the baize are setting new standards in women’s snooker,” Fisher said. “Her success inspires not only the next generation in China but aspirational players across Europe, Asia, and beyond — and I am thrilled she will take up this ambassadorial role to help grow participation and visibility worldwide.”

Bai Yulu’s career has been marked by remarkable achievements. She recently won the 2026 WSF Women’s Championship, defeating Hong Kong legend Ng On‑Yee to secure the world champion title and the number one ranking in women’s snooker. Her performances, including a record-breaking 145 break — the highest by a female player in professional competition — have captivated fans and cemented her status as one of the sport’s brightest stars.

Her new role will see her represent women’s snooker at international events, exhibitions, and development programs, with a focus on engaging youth and expanding the sport’s presence globally. She will also mentor emerging talent, particularly players from under-represented regions, helping nurture the next generation of stars. Bai is expected to appear at major European competitions, including the Belgian Women’s Open 2026 and the British Women’s Open, promoting the growth of the sport and inspiring fans around the world.

The announcement sparked a wave of excitement across the snooker community. Fans and players alike have expressed joy and admiration, hailing this move as a milestone for inclusivity and global development in women’s snooker. Observers have noted that having an active world champion take on a leadership and ambassadorial role is unprecedented, highlighting the sport’s commitment to visibility, participation, and international growth.

Mandy Fisher, who founded the original women’s snooker association in 1981, continues to guide the sport through decades of evolution. This latest initiative, spotlighting Bai Yulu as both a champion and ambassador, marks one of the most high-profile strategic moves in WWS history, signaling a bright future for women’s snooker worldwide.
