The WBSC Coed Slow Pitch World Cup is a mixed (coed) slow pitch softball tournament for national teams sanctioned by the World Baseball Softball Confederation (WBSC).
History
The International Softball Federation would organize a Slowpitch World Cup tournament at its headquarters in Plant City, Florida. The first edition was held in 2002, followed by another tournament in 2005. Annual tournaments were held from 2014 to 2018. These were participated in by both national teams and clubs from North America and the Caribbean, unlike the current iteration by the World Baseball Softball Confederation (WBSC) which is exclusive to national teams.[1]
The first official WBSC Coed Slow Pitch World Cup was greenlit on 9 June during a meeting of the WBSC Executive Board in Pully, Switzerland.[2] It will be held in Mexico in December 2023.[3]
Results
The next Coed Slow Pitch Softball World Cup will take place from December 5, 2023, to December 10, 2023, in Guadalajara, Mexico.
