Sisak, Croatia, Prepares to Host U-15 Baseball European Championship B Pool

Sisak, Croatia, is gearing up to host the U-15 Baseball European Championship B Pool, showcasing its commitment to fostering the growth of baseball in the area.

The local organizing committee of the U-15 Baseball European Championship B Pool is working to ensure that the baseball field meets the standards for the tournament.

Efforts include reseeding the grass to ensure a pristine playing surface, cleaning the outfield fence for improved aesthetics and safety, and digging a water well to ensure the field remains well-watered and in top condition. Additionally, new stairs are being installed to provide easier access for fans.

To further enhance player facilities, the area around the bases is being cleaned and prepared for new clay, and both bullpens are undergoing reconstruction. Infrastructure improvements also include the installation of a new sewer line to the clubhouse.

Six national squads will compete in the event, including Slovakia (SVK), Austria (AUT), Bulgaria (BUL), Switzerland (SUI), Croatia (CRO), and Belgium (BEL). The schedule for the championship has been previously announced.

WBSC Europe commends the efforts of the local organizing committee in Sisak. Beyond the competition itself, hosting events like the U-15 Baseball European Championship B Pool allows European baseball and softball fields to undergo significant improvements, benefiting local communities and future generations of athletes.
