The three- cushion world cup 2006/2 was the second UMB / CEB world cup tournament in the 20th year of the three- cushion world cup. The tournament took place from March 10 to 16, 2006 in this discipline of carom billiards in Porto . It was the fourth three-cushion World Cup tournament in Porto.

history

Before the official qualification rounds began, a national qualification tournament was held on five days due to the many reports for the World Cup tournament. The official tournament started on April 10th. In the very first qualifying round, the Belgian veteran Paul Stroobants managed the feat of finishing a sentence in one shot. For the main tournament he could not qualify.

There were two big surprises in the first round of the main tournament. The current fourth in the world rankings Torbjörn Blomdahl was defeated by the Colombian Alexander Salazar, who is completely unknown in Europe, with 2: 3 sets. World number seven, Semih Saygıner, fared not much better . The Portuguese Mario G. Aranha also defeated him 3-2 sets. There were no other big surprises until the final. In a finale that was heavily influenced by tactics, world number one Daniel Sánchez prevailed against Dick Jaspers with 3-1 sets .
