ISPA - Israeli Association of Billiards Sports

ISPA - Israeli Association of Billiards Sports (in English also known as the Israel Snooker and Pool Association) is the official body representing the sport of billiards in Israel. It is a non-profit institution founded in 2004 and registered as an association (amuta) with the Israeli Registrar of Associations, operating under the authority of the Sports Law (1988). ISPA is a sports organization recognized by the Ministry of Culture and Sport and receives financial support, among others, from the Sports Betting Council and the Sports Administration. The association is the responsible and supervisory body for billiard sports activity in the State of Israel. Since its establishment it has been affiliated with European and world billiard organizations across several disciplines: in snooker with the EBSA, the WSF and the IBSF; in American pool with the EPBF and the WPA; and in carom billiards with the UMB and the CEB. ISPA is also recognized by the World Confederation of Billiard Sports. ISPA was founded by billiard club owners to promote an accessible sport, with a commitment to an ethical code and with the participation of all those involved in the field, through a strong, active and dynamic organization that is pioneering in society, culture and sport. The association organizes the main competitive frameworks of Israeli billiards, including Israeli championships in all disciplines, state cups in all disciplines, and leagues in all disciplines. Leadership of the association has changed over the years. The chairman of the first board was Israel Pinchas. In 2008 Shai Eisenbar was elected to the position of chairman. In 2016 Shai Arma was elected chairman of the association, in 2017 Sharon Mizrahi was elected, and in 2019 David Asulin was elected as the new chairman.
