Bio
The most successful player from Brazil to compete on the World Snooker Tour, Igor Figueiredo has reached the last 16 stage of a full-ranking event three times and achieved a career-high ranking of 65 in September 2010.
Prior to his maiden season on the PIOS amateur circuit in 2009 Figueiredo had yet to play on a full-size snooker table, but upon turning professional a year later quickly showed his potential by qualifying for the televised stages of the World Open, losing to Mark Williams.
In 2017, he achieved his best results to date on the main tour as he reached the last 16 of both the Welsh Open and Gibraltar Open tournaments but was unable to retain his place on the main tour.
A year later, the Rio de Janeiro native also won the inaugural World Snooker Federation Seniors Championship with a 5-3 victory against Darren Morgan in Malta.
Figueiredo won the 2024 World Seniors Championship title at the iconic Crucible Theatre in Sheffield by defeating 1997 world champion Ken Doherty in the final.
