Italy will host the Final 8 of the Davis Cup from 2025 to 2027. This was announced by the International Tennis Federation (Itf).

The Final 8 event is the pinnacle of the annual team competition of the Davis Cup, the men's tennis World Cup. A record 157 nations competed in all levels of the competition in 2024, with the world's top eight teams vying for the title of World Champions in a Final 8 that saw Italy victorious for the second consecutive year.

The last three editions of the prestigious six-day final were successfully hosted by the Region of Andalusia in the city of Malaga, Spain, attracting 65,000 spectators this year, 43 per cent of whom came from abroad to support their team,' the note reads. The Final 8 in 2025 will be held in Bologna, Italy.

David Haggerty, Itf President, added: "We are delighted to partner with Fitp for the Davis Cup Final 8. Italy has a rich history in tennis and a proven ability to host world-class sporting events. We would like to thank Malaga and Andalusia, as well as Tennium and the Itf member nation, the Real federación española de tenis (Rfet), for being such great partners in helping us take the event to new levels over the past three years. We are confident that in the next three years, working with Fitp, we can take the Davis Cup even higher, offering an unforgettable experience for players and fans alike.
