The WBSC Europe Baseball and Softball Commissions were appointed by the WBSC Europe Executive Board during a meeting at the WBSC headquarters in Pully, Switzerland on 8-9 April. The newly elected Board met for the first time since elections in February to approve the commission structure to take European Baseball and Softball into a new era.
WBSC President Riccardo Fraccari welcomed the WBSC Europe Executive Board to the WBSC headquarters and provided them with an update on the latest WBSC developments including a busy events calendar throughout the year.
"Following the WBSC Europe elections in February we now have a unified organisation with baseball and softball now as one and this new leadership can build the base for a strong Europe," President Fracarri said. "As a result of the unification, the management of baseball and softball in the continent is drastically simplified, it will be easier now to interact and build stronger relations with WBSC’s departments, increase the harmonisation and synergy of baseball and softball development programmes as well as standardise the quality of your events".
The first decision of the WBSC Europe Executive Board was the approval of WBSC Europe President Karin Kruno to fill the role of WBSC Baseball Division Board Continental Vice President Europe.
On Saturday, 9 April, the nominations of the WBSC Europe Baseball and Softball Commissions were approved. Read more here.
