It will take a major sensation for China to advance from Group D in this year’s World Cup of Darts 2025.

Players: Xiaochen Zong / Lihao Wen

China comes into the tournament without high hopes this year. Xiaochen Zong participated in this year’s World Championship at Ally Pally but was eliminated in the first round with a 3-0 loss. Advancing from the group will be incredibly difficult considering they are drawn in a group with Ireland. The group also includes Gibraltar, a match China could very well win, but against Ireland their play likely won’t be enough.

In last year’s World Cup of Darts, China won against Guyana before being outplayed by Austria.
