Italy will host the Davis Cup Finals from 2025 to 2027, the International Tennis Federation announced on Monday.

The eight-team men's event, called the "Final 8", was won this year by Jannik Sinner's Italy, who triumphed in Spain last month.

Malaga has hosted the event since 2022.

"We are delighted to partner with the FITP (Italian Tennis Federation) for the Davis Cup Final 8," said ITF president David Haggerty.

"Italy has a rich history in tennis and a proven ability to host world-class sporting events," he added.

The 2025 finals will be staged in Bologna.

"We are thrilled to have been selected as hosts," Angelo Binaghi, president of the FITP, said. "We look forward to welcoming the best teams in the world to our country next November and for the next three years." (AFP)
