Prize money for the event was €28,300. Luo Honghao won the event beating Adam Stefanów in the final. Kristján Helgason and Kacper Filipiak were the losing semifinalists. There were 10 century breaks made in the event, with Igor Figueiredo making the highest break of 131.

In 2024, Ka Wai Cheung has defeated Gao Yang 5–0 in the final to secure the title and his status as a main tour professional for the first time.
