The current d’Orsi Trophy holders are the hosts, Denmark, and it will be interesting to see how they react to playing at home – will it be a boost or a burden? France, Poland and Sweden should be contenders, but the main threat will surely come from the two teams representing the USA.

The Wuhan Cup for Mixed Teams is perhaps the hardest to predict. The current champions are USA 2 but apart from them, France, Israel, Poland, Sweden, China and USA 1 will surely be in contention.

In Salsomaggiore Terme in 2022 European teams captured all four titles, and they took three in Marrakech in 2023. This time the United States have a strong hand in all four events, but can they, or the representatives of any of the other Zones resist the strength in depth of the European teams?

So far 56 teams have registered for the Transnational Teams, and they contain many World, European and National Champions and their ranks will be swelled by the teams who fail to qualify for the knockout phase of the championships.
