More teams have been confirmed for the World Cup of Darts taking place on May 30th-June 5th in Frankfurt, these include China, Japan and the United States of America as the event's line up edges closer to being confirmed.

As alluded to earlier today, Momo Zhou will become only the second female competitor in the competition after Anastasia Dobromyslova and will partner Xiaochen Zong who she defeated in the qualifier for the event.
After the latest weekend of PDC Asian Tour action, other teams have been decided including Japan who will have the dangerous pairing of Haruki Muramatsu, a World Cup ever-present and Seigo Asada who lost to eventual winner Rob Cross in the World Championship.
Paul Lim and Harith Lim who famously knocked out Scotland's pairing of Peter Wright and Gary Anderson will be back to team with each other forming Team Singapore.
In addition, Thanawat Gaweenuntavong and Attapol Eupakaree will be back for Thailand and as will Royden Lam who will team with debutant Ho-Yin Shek.
Darin Young will be back with former World Matchplay champion Larry Butler due to the pair being the top two in the Championship Darts Organisation Order of Merit after this past weekend. Butler was the run away leader but Young survived competition from the likes of DJ Sayre and Leonard Gates to secure his spot.
One of the surprise packages from last year in Russia who reached the Quarter-Finals will be back with the same duo in Aleksandr Oreshkin and Boris Koltsov with the duo looking to emulate their run from last time.
Teams such as England , Netherlands and Canada are still to be confirmed but the line-up is coming close to being confirmed.
