GUYANESE dartsmen Norman Madhoo and Sudesh Fitzgerald are gearing up for their second appearance at the BetVictor World Cup of Darts on June 27th-30th at Frankfurt’s Eissporthalle.
The pair impressed in the Latin American qualifier held in San Jose, Costa Rica, securing their spot in the global tournament after a dominant showing. This follows their successful debut at the 2023 World Cup, where they qualified through the inaugural qualifier.
Madhoo, a veteran of the World Darts Championship, will once again partner with Fitzgerald, who participated in the prestigious event back in 2009.

Madhoo and Fitzgerald were a force to be reckoned with in the qualifiers. They sailed through the round-robin stage, dropping only a minimal number of points before claiming the top spot in their group. Their path continued with a clean sweep against Panama’s pairing, propelling them to the semi-finals.
A familiar face awaited them in the semi-finals – Costa Rica’s Jason Calderon, who was part of the team that nearly eliminated them at the same stage in 2023. However, this time around, Madhoo and Fitzgerald displayed their prowess, defeating Calderon and his teammate in straight legs.
Their final hurdle before securing their World Cup berth was a rematch against Nicaragua’s Norwin Jimenez and Gerald Ordenana. Just like in the round-robin stage, Madhoo and Fitzgerald capitalised on missed opportunities by their opponents, ultimately triumphing 4-1 and booking their ticket to Germany.

The 2024 BetVictor World Cup of Darts will see a total of 40 nations vying for glory. Top seeds and reigning champions England will be represented by World Champion Luke Humphries and Michael Smith, while Wales will field Gerwyn Price and Jonny Clayton in their quest to defend their 2023 title.
Other powerhouses like Netherlands (van Gerwen & Noppert), Scotland (Wright & Anderson), and Australia (Heta & Whitlock) will also be strong contenders.

The full draw for the group stage will be revealed on June 19th, with the tournament following a revamped format featuring both group and knockout stages played across four days. The top four seeded nations will receive a bye to the second round, while the remaining teams will battle it out for a chance to progress.
The competition culminates on June 30th with the semi-finals and final, where the champions will claim a combined prize money of £80,000.
