Too big not to be in the Olympics?
Baseball and Softball now being played in 141 countries and territories! 🌏
Baseball and softball’s global footprint continues to evolve, with the WBSC Executive Board having approved the memberships of the Bhutan Baseball & Softball Association and the Saudi Arabia Baseball & Softball Federation at the board’s most recent virtual meeting.
The two memberships of the national governing bodies, which will need to be ratified at the next WBSC Congress in 2022, will raise the countries and territories in which WBSC has a member to 141.
The growth of international baseball and softball, as highlighted by the new Saudi Arabia and Bhutan memberships, aligns with WBSC's recently announced strategic-plan to make baseball and softball core Olympic sports.
