24/03/2018
PARIS — Following the World Baseball Softball Confederation (WBSC)
Executive Meeting held today at the headquarters of the French National
Olympic and Sports Committee, the WBSC revealed the qualification system
for the six-team baseball and softball events at the Olympic Games Tokyo
2020, as approved by the International Olympic Committee (IOC).
WBSC Members and affiliated National Teams will have the opportunity to
qualify for the Games of the XXXII Olympiad exclusively through eight WBSC
international tournaments, four for baseball and four for softball.
“The eight competitions to get into Tokyo 2020 promise to deliver some of
the most exciting and meaningful international baseball and softball games
ever seen,” said WBSC President Riccardo Fraccari. “As the biggest sport
in Japan, the historic return of Olympic Baseball and Softball is expected
to make a major buzz and be a magical experience for the athletes and
spectators alike, so we can expect that millions around the world will have
their sights set on Tokyo 2020 and do whatever they can to be a part of it.”
Host nation Japan will be automatically entered into the men's baseball and
women's softball medal events at the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020.
ROAD TO TOKYO 2020 – BASEBALL
The first opportunity to advance to the Olympic Baseball medal event at
Tokyo 2020 will be the WBSC flagship Premier12® in November 2019, where
