The free game European championship in 1954 was the 5th tournament in this discipline of carom billiards and took place from February 18 to 22, 1954 in Lisbon . It was the first free game European championship in Portugal.

history

After various problems in the run-up to this championship, which was originally supposed to be held with eleven participants, eight participants then started. The German vice-champion Siegfried Spielmann and others had traveled to Lisbon for free. It was incomprehensible that two Spanish actors could participate. The Belgian Joseph Vervest was the new European champion ahead of the Spaniard Joaquín Domingo . The three-time European champion Clement van Hassel came third in front of the German champion Ernst Rudolph from Cologne.

The game was played in a final round "everyone against everyone" up to 500 points.
