Only Scotland and Wales have won the tournament in the past. In 2019, Gary Anderson and Peter Wright won the cup for Scotland, while Wright was also a tournament winner along with John Henderson in 2021.
In between, Gerwyn Price and Jonny Clayton became champions in 2020. Belgium made it to the final in 2013, but brothers Kim Huybrechts and Ronny Huybrechts had to acknowledge their superiority to England at the time. Germany never got beyond the semi-finals.
After thrillers against the Netherlands (8-7) and defending champion Australia (8-7), another cracker awaits the Belgian duo Dimitri van den Bergh and Kim Huybrechts against Wales.
In the second semi-final, the Germans take on Scotland. Martin Schindler and Gabriel Clemens caused a surprise in the quarter-finals by eliminating first-ranked England (8-3). Scotland, on the other hand, were too strong for France (8-0) and thus wasted little energy.

There will be £450,000 in prize money during this pairs tournament. The event has a higher prize pool than last year. A total of £100,000 has been added to the prize money to be distributed.
The 36 countries in the group stage will receive a minimum of £2,000 per player, while players from the top four seeded countries will receive at least £9,000 each. This could eventually rise to £40,000 per player on winning the World Cup of Darts.
