CZECH Republic will face off against top seeds the United States for a spot in the 2025 United Cup final.

AFTER the first match lasted just 62 minutes and one player won 12 of the 13 games, fans would have been forgiven for thinking it might be a one-way traffic day for Poland over Norway at the 2025 United Cup. However despite the early one-sidedness, Norway forced its way into a live decider and then […]

ONE OF the pre-tournament favourites Greece are out of the running at the 2025 United Cup after Kazakhstan swept the Mediterranean nation 3-0 in Perth today.
