The second edition of the WBSC U-12 Mixed Softball World Cup will feature an increased number of eight mixed-gender teams, twice as many as the first edition in 2019.

The second edition of the mixed-gender Softball World Cup will be held from 1-5 December 2021 in Taichung/TPE.

The WBSC has analysed and improved its competitions and events calendar to not only help the WBSC family mitigate the economic crisis the world is facing but also provide greater opportunities for teams to participate as well as for more cities to be able to host WBSC events.

Raising awareness of today’s United Nations’ “International Youth Day”, the WBSC fully shares the need to engage youth and the next generations. Baseball and softball have long been sports leaders in the youth sector.
