The "EPBF" or European Pocket Billiard Federation was founded in November 1978.
Foundation members were the German Pool Billiard Federation and the Swedish Billiard Federation. Both federations were presented at this time by the president Horst Vondenhoff and the general secretary Bo Sternberg. Reason and object was to combine the national sports federations into one organisation. The creation of unifield game and sports rules was one of the main tasks. The creation of the possibility to make the different national players meet and play against each other was another task. Aside from the two foundation members at first Switzerland, Austria, Liechtenstein and then the Netherlands became members of the EPBF in the year 1980. The EPBF currently has 34 nations as members and it represents around 800.000 sportsman and athlete.
