Canada hosts Davis Cup tie against Israel in Halifax

May 15, 2025 | 8:10 AM

TORONTO — Halifax will host a Davis Cup World Group I tie between Canada and Israel on Sept. 12-13, Tennis Canada announced Thursday.

The matchup at Scotiabank Centre will decide which nation moves on to the 2026 Davis Cup Qualifiers.

Canada was relegated to World Group I after a 3-2 loss to Hungary in February’s first-round qualifier in Montreal.

It marks the first Davis Cup tie in Halifax since 2016, when Canada swept Chile 5-0.

Canada, ranked No. 6, has won nine of its last 11 home ties and claimed its first Davis Cup title in 2022.
