San Francisco to Host Prestigious Laver Cup in 2025
San Francisco has joined the ranks of esteemed cities to host the Laver Cup, a prestigious tennis tournament that pits Team Europe against Team World. The 2025 edition will take place at the Chase Center, home to the NBA’s Golden State Warriors, from September 19-21.
The Laver Cup is a unique event that brings together the world’s top players as teammates, fostering camaraderie and a sense of unity. “Bay Area fans will love the way the Laver Cup brings together the world’s top players as teammates,” said Roger Federer, a three-time Laver Cup champion with Team Europe. “They will get to see them putting aside their rivalries and sitting courtside together cheering each other on. This doesn’t exist anywhere else.”
The tournament format is designed to create intense competition, with matches on the first day worth one point, matches on the second day worth two, and matches on the third day worth three. This ensures that the outcome remains uncertain until the final day of play.
Team World has emerged as a formidable force in recent years, winning the last two editions of the Laver Cup. However, Team Europe remains the dominant force, having won the first four editions. The 2023 edition in Berlin will provide a glimpse into the current balance of power between the two teams.
“Many tennis players are NBA fans themselves,” said Federer, who is an avid basketball enthusiast. “They will be excited to perform for the first time in one the world’s most spectacular arenas, and home to the Warriors.”
The Laver Cup has quickly become a fan favorite, offering a unique blend of world-class tennis, camaraderie, and entertainment. San Francisco’s addition to the host city roster is a testament to the tournament’s growing popularity and global appeal.
