Bruno Nascimento seals spot in Portuguese team for World Cup of Darts
PDC
Bruno Nascimento will make his debut at the World Cup of Darts in June after winning the qualifying tournament for Portuguese darters in Caldas da Rainha. The talented dart player will defend his country's colors in Frankfurt alongside PDC Tour Card holder José de Sousa.
Nascimento managed to qualify by posting a strong run in the qualifying tournament. In the group stage, he won three of his four group matches and then convincingly defeated Fabio Queimado, Manuel Ferreira, Sandro Cruz, Darren Bentley and José Barbosa in the knockout stage.
In doing so, he became the first player to secure a spot to the 2024 World Cup of Darts, which will be held June 12-15 at the Eissporthalle in Frankfurt through the worldwide qualifiers.
For Portugal, it is the sixth consecutive participation in the prestigious country tournament. In the past five editions, José de Sousa has been the team captain each time. Portugal's best performances came in 2020 and 2021, when De Sousa reached the second round together with José Marques.
He repeated this in 2022 with Vítor Jerónimo, but in both 2023 (with Luis Almeida) and 2024 (with David Gomes) Portugal already stranded in the group stage.

- The next prodigy (prodigies) are just round the corner. Wonder if it gets to the stage of 180 after 180 being hit leg after leg whether there will be a modification to the equipment such as reduced doubles and trebles, reduce the size of the board or length of the oche?Mysstree25-03-2025
- obviously littler has the potential to surpass everybody simply because nobody has been this good at this age before, but people who think he would be any kind of favourite right now against prime taylor in a big final have short memories. it's obvious that prime taylor wouldn't win as many world titles if he was playing today, but there's also good reason to believe he'd be winning more than anybody else. hell, his statistical profile still stands alone in darts history and he might statistically be even better if he was playing today with better equipment, larger beds, more competition therefore more motivation, etc.colt24-03-2025
