Van Boening to Vice-Captain USA as Jones returns as Captain

The 2021 Mosconi Cup will take place at Alexandra Palace, London in front of spectators this December 7-10, and Shane van Boening will Vice Captain Team USA.

Jeremy Jones will return as America’s captain, while Europe’s winning partnership of Captain Alex Lely and Vice Karl Boyes will be hoping to lead their team to a title defence in front of the fans who missed out on a landslide European 11-3 victory in 2020.

Tickets will go on sale later this summer with full details to be announced shortly. Fans can sign up to the free Matchroom Pool Club to receive regular updates and priority ticket access at matchroompool.com.

After a bruising defeat, Jones has re-enforced his side by promoting Van Boening to playing-Vice Captain. Both rosters will be made up of their team’s top two players on the Matchroom Pool World Ranking, alongside three captain’s pick wildcards.

“I am looking forward to it,” said Van Boening. “I am all about team working and trying to help players get better. I can hear London calling my name, so I will be ready for that. I am really excited for it. It is one of the best tournaments in the world, the Mosconi Cup is one and only.”

Emily Frazer, Matchroom Multi Sport Managing Director, said: “The crowds missed out last year so it is time to get back to Alexandra Palace. We are looking at our seating capacity and tickets will be on sale shortly. The arena will be slightly different and we are excited to share those plans.

“We have Jeremy Jones as USA Captain, Shane as his vice, and Alex Lely as Europe’s Captain with Karl as his Vice. We are in the team we are in and normally more players would come through the rankings but this year both teams will have two players qualify off the Matchroom World Rankings, with three wildcards for each team.”

Full ticketing details will be announced shortly. For all the latest news and announcements follow Matchroom Pool on FacebookTwitterYouTube and Instagram.

莫斯考尼盃12月亞歷山德拉宮登場

第28屆莫斯考尼盃將於12月7-10日在英國倫敦的亞歷山德拉宮 (Alexandra Palace) 登場,屆時 Van Boening 將擔任美國隊副隊長,不同於去年賽事在封閉式下進行,今年重新回到在有觀眾的加油吶喊聲中進行。

歐洲隊去年在隊長 Alex Lely 與副隊長 Karl Boyes 的帶領下以 11-3 大比分之差,拿下勝利。兩人今年將再次攜手,希望帶領歐洲隊能在歐洲球迷面前衛冕。美國隊方面,Jeremy Jones 將再次擔任隊長,然而在經過去年的慘敗過後,Jones 今年也試圖藉由 Van Boening 出任副隊長來強化球隊。而參賽球員名單將由各隊 Matchroom Pool 世界排名中前兩名球員與三名由隊長所選外卡球員組成。

“我非常地興奮並期待它的到來! 莫斯考尼盃是世界上最好的比賽之一,但也是獨一無二的。我將專注於團隊合作上並盡我所能地幫助我的球員變得更好。” Van Boening 說道。

Matchroom 常務董事 Emily Frazer 表示: “我們有 Jeremy JonesSVB 擔任美國隊的隊長和副隊長,歐洲隊則由 Alex Lely 出任隊長搭檔副隊長 Karl 。而通常在所處球隊中會有更多球員通過排名入選,但今年兩隊都將有兩名球員從 Matchroom 世界排名中脫穎而出,再加上每隊的三個外卡名額。

“去年因故須在現場無觀眾的情況下進行,我們想是時候再次迎回觀眾們。我們正在確認賽場座位的容納數,門票也將於短期內發售,我們很高興分享這些計劃。” Frazer 接著說道。
