The 23rd edition of the WDF World Cup was held in Esbjerg in Denmark. From 26 to 30 September the tournament was played at the Blue Water Dokken in Esbjerg. The tournament was initially going to be held in 2021, but the global corona pandemic forced the tournament to be postponed by two years.
Three countries are making their debut this World Cup. The Faroe Islands, Guernsey, and Liechtenstein. Marco Meijer from the Netherlands and Christian Sørensen from Denmark join the team of officials starting this year, whilst Richard Ashdown has left this year.
