World Cup of Darts 2025 Group Stage Draw | Germany to face Portugal and Singapore
The draw for the Group Stage of the 2025 World Cup of Darts has been confirmed, with hosts Germany to face Portugal and Singapore.
The 15th staging of the World Cup of Darts will take place at the Eissporthalle in Frankfurt from June 12-15, as 40 nations compete for the coveted title in the unique pairs event.
The top four ranked nations – based on the lowest cumulative PDC Order of Merit ranking of the two competing players – are seeded and will enter at the Second Round stage.
This includes reigning champions England, two-time champions Wales and Scotland, and fourth seeds Northern Ireland – who reached the semi-finals in 2014 and 2016.
The remaining 36 nations have been split into 12 groups of three for the round-robin phase – including 12 seeded nations – from which each group winner will progress.
Ricardo Pietreczko will make his World Cup bow for Germany as he and Martin Schindler face Portugal and Singapore – led by 71-year-old icon Paul Lim – in Group C.
Netherlands will kick off their bid for a record-equalling fifth BetVictor World Cup of Darts title against Italy on opening night, before taking on Hungary.
Former UK Open champion Danny Noppert will team up with debutant Gian van Veen for the Netherlands as the Dutch duo headline Group A.
There will also be a new-look Belgian pairing on show this year, as World Grand Prix champion Mike De Decker partners the returning Dimitri Van den Bergh.
The 2013 runners-up have since featured in seven semi-finals without lifting the title, and will be aiming to rectify that when they meet Latvia and the Philippines in Group B.
Republic of Ireland, runners-up in 2019, face off against Gibraltar and China in Group D, while Poland head up Group E – which features Norway and two-time quarter-finalists South Africa.
Three-time quarter-finalists Canada take centre stage in Group F – which also contains Malaysia and Denmark – as former quarter-finalists Sweden and France are joined by Lithuania in Group G.
Mensur Suljovic will maintain his ever-present World Cup record for last year’s runners-up Austria, with Rusty-Jake Rodriguez poised to represent his country for the first time.
They will go head-to-head with Spain and 2022 champions Australia in a blockbuster Group H, as Simon Whitlock makes his big stage return alongside world number eight Damon Heta.
USA, Hong Kong and Bahrain battle it out in Group I, with Group J comprising Czechia, Chinese Taipei and India, who return to the World Cup stage after missing out last year.
2024 quarter-finalists Croatia headline Group K along with Japan and Switzerland, while Finland, New Zealand and World Cup debutants Argentina complete Group L.
The losing nations from Thursday’s opening round-robin matches will play the third team drawn in each group in Friday’s afternoon session, before the decisive group games are played on Friday evening.
Following the completion of the group stage, the draw for the Last 16 will take place on Friday evening, as England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland open their title bids in Saturday’s second round.
