To all the players playing in the WDF Europe Cup Youth, CONGRATULATIONS! You have all been selected for your country and no one will be able to take that achievement away from you!

Personally, I always like looking out for the youth results from around the world because some of these players are going to be the darting superstars of the future!

Whether you win or lose, I would like to wish every single player the very best of luck for the tournament – enjoy it, because not many people get to play a sport for their country!

As WDF Youth Commissioner, it is my great pleasure to see all of you attending the Europe Cup Youth 2024 in Riga. Being very committed to Youth work for the last years, it´s with great pleasure to see so many young and talented players representing their countries. With a new record breaking number of 26 countries competing and nearly all with both boys and girls teams, this is the result of really good and hard work of the national federations on their youth programme. Without each and every one of you, this wouldn’t be possible!

Beyond the competition itself, I hope that the Europe Cup Youth 2024 will serve as a platform for building lasting friendships, fostering international connections, and creating memories that will stay with you for a lifetime. Let us embrace the spirit of fair play and respect, both on and off the dart board, as we come together to celebrate the sport that unites us all.
