The World Baseball Softball Confederation revealed the official competition schedule for the WBSC U-12 Baseball World Cup 2017 Tainan.
The IV WBSC U-12 Baseball World Cup will be contested over 50 games and three rounds: Opening Round (Group Stage), Super Round and World Championship Medal Round.
The global tournament — which will be staged in Tainan, Taiwan, from 28 July to 6 August — is the highest-level of competition for 11- and 12-year-old baseball players.
“The U-12 Baseball World Cup represents the first opportunity for top young players in our sport to be named to the National Team, to wear their nation’s jersey and play for a world championship,” said WBSC President Riccardo Fraccari.
Baseball is the only team sport that currently stages a World Cup for athletes as young as the U-12 age category.
