After 13 years of international competition, Pontus Andersson has announced that he is ending his bowling career.
The 30-year-old bowler confirmed that he will step away from competitive bowling and begin a new chapter in his life.
In a message shared on social media, Pontus Andersson wrote that he has been blessed to travel around the world and compete internationally, but it is now time for a change.
From June 1, he plans to move to Doha, Qatar, where he will work with the Qatar Youth Bowling Team.
During his career, Pontus Andersson represented Sweden at both youth and men's championships. He collected 23 international medals, including seven golds, while wearing the Swedish national team colors.
Among his latest results was a team gold medal at the 2025 European Men’s Championships in Aalborg. Later that year, Pontus Andersson won three medals at the 2025 IBF World Championships in Hong Kong, including two golds.
In 2025, Pontus Andersson also won the inaugural PBA Sweden regional event, the PBA Sweden Chameleon Jönköping Open. The victory marked a historic moment as the first PBA Sweden regional title.
His announcement comes just months after James Blomgren also confirmed that he is stepping down from the Swedish National Bowling Team.
