As recently as last week, Matt Campbell reached the quarterfinals in the European Tour event in Leverkusen. If he can perform at that same level in the World Cup of Darts, Canada has a real chance to challenge for a semifinal spot.

Ranking: 10
Players: Matt Campbell / Jim Long

Matt Campbell teams up with Jim Long to form Canada’s squad for this year’s tournament. This will be Jim Long’s first opportunity to play in the World Cup of Darts, making it an exciting lineup. In recent years, Campbell has paired with David Cameron or Jeff Smith, but now teaming up with the experienced Jim Long could be a positive for Canada. Long is a calm presence on stage, which we believe will suit Campbell well.

In last year’s tournament, Canada lost a crucial group stage match to Croatia 4-2. This year, we wouldn’t be surprised to see Canada playing many more matches.
