Qualification for the 2026 World Baseball Classic has been announced. There'll be 2 qualification Pools and 4 teams in each with the top 2 teams in each pool advancing to the 2026 WBC. :AUS:CZE:CAN:CUB:DOM:GBR:ISR:ITA:JPN:MEX:NED:KOR:PAN:PUR:USA:VEN

 

As a fan of international baseball, words cannot describe how disappointed I am. We are coming off arguably the greatest international baseball tournament in history in 2023 and we are cutting the number of teams in the qualification round from 12 to 8 teams :facepalm:. How do you expect to grow baseball like that? Teams like :ARG Argentina and :PAK Pakistan have been on the rise but now they won't have the chance to qualify.

 

 

Taipei Qualification Pool (Feb. 21-25, 2025)

:NCA Nicaragua

:RSA South Africa

:TWN Taiwan

I would expect a competitive game that could go both ways. 

 

Nicaragua will be riding the momentum from their 2-0 start to qualification and their pitching has been great so far.

 

Taiwan should be the favorite but for some reason, they decided to not select a bunch of players that were on the team that won the Premier 12 tournament and opted for younger players. However, the home crowd will be a huge advantage for them still.

    • Disappointed. I wanted tickets for BMX, 3x3, beach volleyball and athletics. Sadly there were no tickets for BMX and 3x3. Athletics and beach volley way too expensive for me.   I will focus on 2030 Winter Olympics again.
