The International Tennis Federation (ITF) recently announced that the Davis Cup Final 8 stage will take place in Italy from 2025 to 2027, with Bologna hosting the event the next season.
The city of Malaga, located in southern Spain, hosted the last three Davis Cup Finals.
Italy last hosted the tournament’s final back in 1998, when they came second to Sweden.
ITF President David Haggerty said: “We are delighted to partner with the FITP (Italian Tennis Federation) for the Davis Cup Final 8… Italy has a rich history in tennis and a proven ability to host world-class sporting events.”
Italy has won the Davis Cup three times, first taking home the trophy back in 1976. Subsequrntly, World No. 1 Jannik Sinner led Italy to consecutive victories in 2023 and 2024.
It is reported that Italy will also stage the season-ending ATP Finals until 2030.
“The FITP will build on Italy’s heritage in this competition, working closely with the ITF to deliver a spectacular event for the fans, as well as build an even greater future for tennis’ great global team asset,” FITP President Angelo Binaghi declared.
