The Billie Jean King Cup Finals will be held in Shenzhen, China for the next three years.<\/b><\/p>\n
China, reigning champions Italy and six qualifiers will contest the week-long Finals in 2025, with a date yet to be confirmed.<\/p>\n
Three venues in Shenzhen are being considered – including the 12,000 capacity Shenzhen Bay Sports Arena, which staged the WTA Finals in 2019.<\/p>\n
Prague, Glasgow, Seville and Malaga were chosen as hosts for the first four editions, but organisers say a global event of this nature cannot stay in Europe for too long.<\/p>\n
“The announcement demonstrates our commitment to bringing the passion and excitement of nation v nation team tennis to markets around the world,” Billie Jean King said.<\/p>\n
In the tournament, formerly called the Fed Cup, 18 teams split into six groups of three in qualifying, with the group winners progressing to the Finals.<\/p>\n
Great Britain have been drawn alongside Germany and the Netherlands in Group F for April’s qualifying competition.<\/p>\n
Canada, who won the competition in 2023, meet Japan and Romania in Group A, with Brazil, the Czech Republic and Spain competing in Group B.<\/p>\n
Slovakia, USA and Denmark are in Group C, while fourth-seeded Australia take on Kazakhstan and Colombia in Group D.<\/p>\n
Poland, Switzerland and Ukraine make up Group E.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
