The official website of the World Baseball Softball Confederation, www.wbsc.org, will be re-launched, both in English and Spanish, at 10:00 CET on Wednesday 30 March.
The new wbsc.org showcases a modern and simple-sophistication look.
The reinforced website framework has been configured to handle ultra-high volume and extreme spikes in fan traffic, particularly during event time.
Updates with rich, new content and sections will continue to be implemented to the evolving website, including expansion of the multi-language platform into Chinese, Japanese and Korean, so the millions of baseball/softball fans can follow their National Teams competing on the world stage in their native languages.
Fans will also be able to follow WBSC’s new “Social Wall” section, which displays the real-time @wbsc social media feed (Twitter, Facebook, Instagram and YouTube), making it quick and easy to follow and join the discussion on announcements, breaking news, videos and updates.
Dedicated pages for WBSC’s Members (National Federations and Associate Members) as well as the Continental Confederations have also been expanded upon.
Other notable updates include:
- A new international baseball/softball calendar
- A streamlined second-tier-news section
- A reorganized navigation and user-experience: now all content is accessible/searchable from a top menu bar
- A dynamic homepage slideshow that can feature both landscape and portrait style images
