Bulgaria hosts European Championship in Baseball 5 – Sport
Bulgaria will host for the first time the European Championship in Baseball 5 for juniors and girls up to 17 years old. The game is gaining more and more popularity in Europe as it allows practitioners to play in all kinds of places. It enters the program of the Youth Olympic Games for 2026.
Baseball 5 is played according to the rules of the original Baseball and Softball with one major difference – no bat is used and the balls are rubber. Batting in Baseball 5 is done with the arm.
Bulgaria has already hosted the Balkan Baseball 5 Championships twice and now it’s time for a more serious forum.
The European Championship is a qualifier for the Baseball 5 World Championship and the Dakar Youth Olympic Games in 2026.
14 countries will participate in the championship in Sofia, which will be held between November 16 and 19: Belgium, Bulgaria, Germany, Greece, Israel, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Moldova, the Netherlands, Romania, Turkey, France and the Czech Republic.
Following the motto of B5 – “Play everywhere” (#playeverywhere), the matches of the championship will be held on two courts built in the “Sofia” hall – the Mecca of Bulgarian tennis.
The program and results will be uploaded daily on the event page, and the matches will be available to watch both live at the venue and on the channel of WBSC Europe on YouTube.
The opening ceremony of Euro 2022 in Baseball 5 will end on 16.11.2022 at 10:00 a.m., immediately after that will be the match Bulgaria – France.
