Trinidad and Tobago have made history in the world of darts, securing their first-ever victory at the BetVictor World Cup of Darts 2026. The triumphant team, Joshua Balfour and James Walklin, defeated Latvia 4-3 in a riveting match that marked the nation’s debut appearance on the global stage.
The journey to the World Cup was no less remarkable. The duo had earned their place after claiming victory in the Latin America and Caribbean qualifier, making them the first team from Trinidad and Tobago to compete in such a prestigious event.
Despite their groundbreaking win, the road was not without challenges. The team narrowly missed advancing to the knockout rounds following an earlier defeat to Italy in the group stage. However, the significance of their victory cannot be underestimated.
This historic win is not just a personal achievement for Balfour and Walklin, but a milestone for darts in Trinidad and Tobago. It signals the country’s growing presence on the international circuit and is expected to inspire a new generation of players at home. The win is also likely to boost the sport’s popularity across the twin-island republic, marking a new era for darts in the region.
