Vietnam to host Davis Cup Asia/Oceania Group V tournament
VOV.VN - Vietnam will host the Davis Cup by Generali Asia/Oceania Group V tournament from November 11 to 14 at NovaWorld Phan Thiet in Lam Dong province, bringing together 14 national teams and nearly 60 players to compete for two promotion places.
The Vietnam Tennis Federation (VTF) will organise the international men's team competition, which is scheduled to open on November 11 at the NovaWorld Phan Thiet tennis complex.
The participating teams are Bahrain, Bangladesh, Bhutan, Brunei, Guam, Laos, Macau (China), Maldives, Mongolia, Nepal, Pacific Oceania, Tajikistan, the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and Yemen. Bahrain, ranked 128th in the world, and Guam, ranked 131st, are the highest-ranked teams in the tournament.
Under the competition format, the 14 teams will be divided into four groups and play a round-robin stage from November 11 to 13 to determine their standings.
On November 14, the four group winners will advance to the promotion play-offs, with Group A's winner facing Group D's winner and Group B's winner taking on Group C's winner. The two play-off winners will secure promotion to the 2027 Davis Cup Asia/Oceania Group IV, while the remaining teams will compete in classification matches to determine their final standings.
International teams began arriving in Vietnam on November 7 to settle in, train and familiarise themselves with the courts. Official practice sessions are scheduled for November 9 and 10, ahead of the tournament’s opening. Matches will be broadcast live on VTVcab and the VTF's fanpage.
Vietnam's selection to host the Davis Cup for another year reflects its growing reputation and capacity to stage international tennis competitions. The event also provides an opportunity for the VTF to strengthen exchanges and expand cooperation with tennis federations across the Asia/Oceania region.
In recent years, the VTF has hosted a number of international tournaments, gradually improving competition standards, facilities and operational conditions to meet the requirements of the International Tennis Federation (ITF).
Holding the event at NovaWorld Phan Thiet is also expected to help promote Lam Dong province’s sporting and tourism profile to international visitors.
