Jason Ferguson, the former world number one snooker player, believes that the sport of snooker is increasingly likely to become an Olympic discipline. Ferguson's positive outlook is based on the growing popularity and global reach of the sport, which he feels could make it a suitable addition to the Olympic program.
Ferguson, who has been a prominent figure in the snooker world for decades, noted that the sport's increasing visibility and the significant improvements in its international competitions could attract the attention of the International Olympic Committee (IOC). He pointed out that the inclusion of more sports in the Olympic program has been a trend in recent years, with the goal of making the games more inclusive and diverse.
The snooker community has been working to improve its appeal and accessibility, with a focus on expanding its reach into new markets. With more tournaments being held globally and the sport attracting a younger audience, the case for its inclusion in the Olympics becomes stronger. Ferguson's comments reflect the optimism within the snooker community about the potential for the sport to achieve this significant milestone.
