It will take a lot for Norway to advance from this year’s tournament. Of course, Cor Dekker will need to play at the very top of his game—but will that even be enough?

Ranking: 26
Players: Cor Dekker / Kent Jøran Sivertsen

Norway is in Group E alongside South Africa and the group favorites Poland. Norway will skip the first match, meaning they will play both of their matches on Friday, June 13th. Norway’s team includes PDC player Cor Dekker, who is known for playing at a high level. This year, he will partner with Kent Jøran Sivertsen, who is ranked 14th on the Nordic & Baltic Tour.

For Norway to succeed, both players will need to seize every opportunity that comes their way. If Norway manages to advance to the later stages over the weekend, it would be a major surprise. Last year, Norway finished second in their group after a win against Hungary but lost to Poland 4-2.
