Czech Softball unveiled the 16 players to represent the Central European nation at the inaugural WBSC U-18 Women’s Softball World Cup, which will be staged at Villa Maria del Triunfo Complex in Lima, Peru. The Czech team held a training/selection camp in Prague from 28-31 October before finalizing the roster.

The Czech team includes one veteran from the 2019 U-19 team that finished 10th at the last U-19 Women’s Softball World Cup in Irvine, California, USA. Magdalena Kavanova played right field in all six games of the tournament.

No. 13 Czech Republic will open the tournament on 6 December at 3 p.m. local time against No. 2 USA on Field 1 of Villa Maria del Triunfo Complex. 

This will be the ninth overall junior women’s softball world championship for Czech Republic, which has participated in the last five global events. Their top finish in the youth category was in 2017, when they made the playoffs for the first time and grabbed eighth place.
