Efren ‘Bata’ Reyes Hopes for Billiards to Become an Olympic Sport

Filipino sports legend Efren ‘Bata’ Reyes is hopeful that billiards will be included as an Olympic sport.

Reyes, known as “The Magician,” has long dreamed of seeing the sport in the world’s biggest sporting event.

He added that billiard players had pushed for its inclusion in the 1990s, but it was not granted.

Reyes expressed his desire to represent the Philippines in billiards if it becomes an Olympic event.

He also believes that Filipino billiards players have great potential if their request for Olympic recognition is fulfilled.

Currently, many Filipino players, both experienced and new, continue to showcase their skills in local and international tournaments.
