WBSC Commemorates Tenth Anniversary with Declaration of World Baseball Softball Day on May 10th

The 2024 calendar year is a significant milestone for international baseball, as it marks the tenth anniversary of the World Baseball Softball Confederation (WBSC) as a world governing body. To honor this day, the WBSC Executive Board has declared May 10th as the official World Baseball Softball Day.

Thanks to the WBSC’s leadership, the game of baseball has seen many successes on a global scale over the past decade. This includes its return to the Olympic Games in 2028 in Los Angeles and the launch of the Premier12, which has become one of the largest and most successful international baseball events in the world. Team USA is set to compete in the third edition of the Premier12 in November.

In addition to bringing more attention to the sport around the world, the WBSC has made significant strides in making baseball more inclusive than ever. They have introduced Baseball5 and eBaseball, two modern versions of the sport that have helped bring the game closer to new generations. These initiatives provide an opportunity for more people than ever to enjoy the great game of baseball.
