Sofia, Bulgaria, will host the six teams participating in the U-12 Baseball European Championship Qualifier 2023.

This year, the U-12 Baseball European Championship Qualifiers 2023 will be played in Sofia, Bulgaria, after the WBSC Europe Board accepted the bid from the Bulgarian Baseball and Softball Federation. 

Sofia is the Bulgarian largest city and capital. It is situated in the Sofia Valley in the western parts of the country. 

The six teams looking for a spot in next year's U-12 Baseball European Championship are Belgium, Bulgaria, Hungary, Poland, Slovakia, and Ukraine. 

The event will be played as a celebration of 35 year anniversary of baseball in Bulgaria. The U-12 Baseball European Championship Qualifiers 2023 will be played at the Oktomvri Baseball and Softball Complex where baseball made its first steps in the Balcanic country.

In 2022, Great Britain won the U-12 European Baseball Championship Qualifier, held in Vienna, Austria, and was promoted to the U-12 European Baseball Championship 2023.
