WBSC Europe revealed that the Czech city of Sezimovo Usti, approximately 83 km south of Prague, will host the first edition of the U-23 Men’s Softball European Championship, which will take place from 4-9 July 2022. The continental championship, hosted by the Czech Softball Association (CSA), will serve as a qualifier for the 2023 WBSC U-23 Men’s Softball World Cup, the second international edition in this age category.
CSA and Sezimovo Usti will also organise the 2023 U-18 and U-16 Men’s Softball European Championships, which will begin on 3 July 2023.
From 12-17 July 2021, Havlickuv Brod -- co-host of the 2019 WBSC Men’s Softball World Championship in the Czech Republic --- will stage the European qualifier for the first-ever WBSC U-23 Men’s Softball World Cup, which will be held in Argentina in 2021.
