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[edit]
The International Softball Federation would organize a Slowpitch World Cup tournament at its headquarters in Plant City, Florida. The first edition would be held in 2002 which was followed by another tournament in 2005. Annual tournaments would be held from 2014 to 2018. These were participated by both national teams and clubs from the 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 would be greenlit on 9 June during a meeting by the WBSC Executive Board in Pully, Switzerland.[2] It will be held in Mexico in December 2023.[3]
Results[edit]
The next Coed Slow Pitch Softball World Cup will take place on December 5, 2023, to December 10, 2023, in Guadalajara Mexico.
