At the Union Mondiale de Billard (UMB), we are the home and the governing body for carom billiards worldwide. Our existence is dedicated to a clear and passionate mission: to govern, promote, and safeguard the integrity of this extraordinary sport for our global community of athletes, federations, and fans.

Our fundamental duty is to act as the highest authority for carom billiards, ensuring a permanent and stable bond with our affiliated confederations and federations to unify the sport under a single banner. By establishing the official rules and standards of competition, we ensure that, no matter where it is played, we are all part of the same global billiard family, acting as the meeting point that unifies and structures our sport.

This solid foundation allows us to focus on another of our great passions: driving the growth of billiards and taking it to new heights of excellence. Through our flagship events, such as the World Cup circuit and the World Championships, we provide a world-class stage where our athletes can shine, seeking to inspire a new generation of players and bring the excitement of carom to an ever-wider audience.

We understand, however, that no promotion is sustainable without a foundation of trust and honor. For this reason, integrity is the cornerstone of everything we do. We maintain an unwavering commitment to fair play and sporting ethics through our adherence to the World Anti-Doping Code and the enforcement of strict regulations that protect the purity of our sport, guaranteeing that merit and skill are always the sole factors that determine success.

And it is precisely this level of excellence and fair play that drives us to share a great ambition: to see billiards shine on the world's most important sporting stage. As co-founders of the World Confederation of Billiards Sports (WCBS), we work tirelessly to achieve recognition for our sport as an Olympic discipline, a goal we believe billiards deserves for its history and its global reach.

At the UMB, we are more than an organization; we are the custodians of a legacy and the architects of its future. Welcome to the Union Mondiale de Billiard.
