Pan has signed an agreement with the event’s operator, Guangzhou UFengSports, which will see the professional pool player attend fan meetings, news conferences and campus campaigns.

The CBSA 9-Ball International Open, hosted by the Management Center of Small Ball Sports of Chinese Sports General Administration and China Billiards and Snooker Association (CBSA), is a ranking tournament of WPA and CBSA.

“As I have been involved in the sport for 20 years, I have seen it my duty to promote the development of 9-Ball. That’s why I’m pleased to become the ambassador of this event.”

Pan is the first-ever female professional pool player from China to play full-time on the Women's Professional Billiard Association (WPBA) tour. Pan's achievements in billiards have made her one of the most famous female athletes in China.
