The Italian Baseball Softball Federation (FIBS) unveiled the official tournament logo of the 2021 European Baseball Championship at a press conference in Turin, Italy on Monday. Created by Andrea Villani, the logo is a synthesis of the architectural symbols of the three host cities: Turin, Avigliana and Settimo Torinese.
In August, Baseball Europe awarded the hosting rights of the European Baseball Championship 2021 to FIBS. The 16-nation tournament is scheduled for September 2021.
It will be the first time since 1999 that Italy hosts the continental championship.
World No. 9 Netherlands will enter the tournament as the three-time defending European Baseball Champions. In 2019, the orange team beat world No. 17 Italy, 5-1, in Bonn, Germany, to earn their third European title in a row.
