Pairings confirmed for 2025 World Cup of Darts
The competing nations and pairings for the 2025 World Cup of Darts have been confirmed, with 40 teams set to battle it out in June.
Nations with players on the PDC Order of Merit now have their pairings locked in for the prestigious televised event, which takes place from June 12-15 at the Eissporthalle in Frankfurt.
Reigning champions England are the number one seeds as World Champion Luke Littler makes his World Cup debut alongside world number one Luke Humphries in a formidable pairing.
Two-time champions Jonny Clayton and Gerwyn Price will once again team up for second seeds Wales, while two-time World Champions Gary Anderson and Peter Wright return to represent twice winners Scotland.
Josh Rock and Daryl Gurney will represent fourth seeds Northern Ireland, while Michael van Gerwen’s absence means the Netherlands are unseeded and will be represented by World Youth Champion Gian van Veen and Danny Noppert.
World Grand Prix champion Mike De Decker will make his World Cup debut for Belgium alongside Dimitri Van den Bergh, while a new-look German side will see Ricardo Pietreczko make his debut alongside three-time European Tour event winner Martin Schindler.
Argentina will be represented in the event for the first time after winning the Latin American and Caribbean Qualifier, with Jesus Salata partnering Victor Guillin.
The pairings for Hungary and Italy will be confirmed at upcoming national qualifying events.
