The first meeting in group B opposed the Norway to the Czech Republic. Logically, the Czechs won. The Norwegians are now condemned to the feat against the Poland this Monday. Beaten in the semi-final by USA in 2023 then in the final by theGermany in 2024 despite two title shots, the Poland has not yet managed to win the United Cup. Will this year be the good one? Iga Swiatek et Hubert Hurkacz are in any case still motivated to play this team competition.
