Field World Cup of Darts 2025 complete: Lithuania and Finland grab final spots

The field of participants for the BetVictor World Cup of Darts 2025 is complete. A total of 40 countries will compete from June 12 to 15 in Frankfurt for the prestigious title and a prize pool of no less than £450,000. Last weekend, Lithuania and Finland were the last to qualify through the PDC Nordic & Baltic ProTour in Vääksy, Finland.

For Lithuania, Darius Labanauskas, a former quarterfinalist at the World Cup, is back in the game. He forms a duo with Mindaugas Barauskas for the seventh year in a row. The Finns are represented by Teemu Harju and veteran Marko Kantele, as they did in 2024.

In addition to these countries, the remaining Nordic and Baltic tickets have also been distributed. Andreas Hyllgaardshus (Denmark), Valters Melderis (Latvia) and Kent Jøran Sivertsen (Norway) have secured participation after their performances at ProTour Events 7 and 8 of the PDC Nordic & Baltic Tour. Sivertsen will be the teammate of Cor Dekker, the native of the Netherlands who now holds a Norwegian passport. Hyllgaardhus will play with Benjamin Reus, and Melderis will form a duo with Madars Razma.

For countries whose players are listed on the PDC Order of Merit, such as England, the Netherlands and Wales, the final pairings will not be announced until later. Those will be determined after the conclusion of Players Championship 16, which will be played on Tuesday. For Spain, Gibraltar and Hungary, national qualifying tournaments will take place soon, after which the pairs will be formed there as well.
