International Softball Federation

The World Baseball Softball Confederation (WBSC) has become the latest body to submit a proposal to feature at the Tokyo 2020 summer Olympic Games.

Riccardo Fraccari has pledged to add new impetus to the drive to return baseball and softball to the Olympic programme following his election as the first-ever sole president of the World Baseball Softball Confederation (WBSC).

The International Softball Federation (ISF) has appointed Dale McMann president, following the retirement of former head Don Porter who held the position for 26 years since 1987.

Baseball and softball’s joint bid to return to the Olympic fold has been given a boost following comments by the Rio 2016 Games president.
