WDF World Cup Men Overall 2017

The 21st edition of the WDF World Cup was held from 3 to 7 October at the Kobe International Exhibition Hall in Japan. It is after Kuala Lumpur in 2011 the second time that the WDF World Cup is played in Asia. A number of leading darts countries are absent from this 21st edition of this event. England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, among others, cannot get it financially in order to travel to Japan.

Yet it will be an unforgettable edition in which 28 men's teams, 26 women's teams and 12 youth teams compete for the big Cups. Hong Kong was last there in 1989 and returns to the WDF World Cup, Mongolia and South Korea make their debut, just as Marco Meijer does as a referee on the podium.

The overall title in 2017 goes to Australia with Peter Machin, Justin Thompson, Raymond Smith & Andrew Townes for the first time in history. Aided by their perfect run in the team tournament, they stay ahead of both North American teams with 98 points. Canada takes the silver with 69 points and the USA the bronze with 63 points. Belgium comes fourth with 56 points and Russia takes fifth place overall in addition to their gold in the pairs.
