By Alabama NewsCenter Staff

With the World Baseball Softball Confederation (WBSC) today announcing the postponement of the 2021 WBSC Women’s Softball World Cup to 2023, the WBSC will recognize The World Games 2022 Birmingham as the top women’s international softball competition for 2022, with the winning team named world champion.

“With the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, and the postponement of the Olympic Games to 2021 and The World Games to 2022, we wanted to ensure softball athletes had an opportunity for world-class competition in each of the next three years,” said WBSC President Riccardo Fraccari. “We also wanted to do our part to best harmonize the international sports calendar and ensure the primary spotlight remains on the Olympic Games, particularly with how the Tokyo 2020 Games will now be seen as a universal symbol of hope and recovery.”
