The Pakistani cueist made a remarkable performance throughout the tournament, setting a record by making six century breaks. He reached the final after defeating Cyprus' Michael Georgiou 5-3 in an exciting match.
Asif's victory also ties him with India's Pankaj Advani, who has won the World Snooker Championship three times.
Mohammad Asif, aged 42, from Faisalabad, first won the IBSF World Snooker Championship in 2012 and went on to win it again in 2019.
Meanwhile, the Chairman of the Pakistan Snooker and Billiards Association, Alamgir Sheikh, and other officials congratulated Mohammad Asif on his outstanding victory, calling it a great honour for Pakistan.
They expressed hope that, just like Arshad Nadeem’s gold medal in javelin throw at the Paris Olympics, Mohammad Asif’s third world title will also be recognized and rewarded with accolades.
