Tran Quyet Chien is racing against time.
To date, six out of the eight major tournaments in 2025 under the World Billiards Federation (UMB) system have concluded. However, Tran Quyet Chien has yet to add another championship trophy to his collection.
The best achievement of the player from Ha Tinh province was finishing as runner-up in the World Cup billiards leg held in Ankara (Turkey) in June. Currently, Tran Thanh Luc is the only Vietnamese representative to hold the UMB championship title in 2025, having won in Bogota, Colombia in March. However, the opportunity to reach the top this season is still open for Quyet Chien and other Vietnamese players.

From now until the end of 2025, Quyet Chien will compete in two World Cup billiards tournaments, in Gwangju (South Korea, November 3-9) and Sharm El Sheikh (Egypt, December 7-13). In the upcoming tournament in South Korea, Quyet Chien and Thanh Luc have been granted a bye to the final round (32 players) as they are among the top 14 players in the world rankings. Other well-known Vietnamese billiards players such as Bao Phuong Vinh, Chiem Hong Thai, Nguyen Tran Thanh Tu, and Dao Van Ly will compete from the final qualifying round.
Notably, the World Cup billiards tournament held in South Korea in early November saw a large number of Vietnamese players participating. According to the list announced by the organizers, Vietnam had as many as 19 players.
