Men's & Women's Softball Confirmed for The World Games 2025

The International World Games Association (IWGA) announced that both men's and women's softball have been officially confirmed as medal disciplines for The World Games 2025. The decision was taken by the IWGA Executive Committee following a proposal by the World Baseball Softball Confederation (WBSC). 

 

 

Eight teams will compete in each of the two disciplines in Chengdu, China, with 15 players in the rosters, for a total of 240 softball athletes.  

 

"Following the great success of women's softball at The World Games 2022 and the Men's Softball World Cup last year, I am proud to see both disciplines included in the programme for The World Games 2025," WBSC President Riccardo Fraccari said. "Softball has amazing athletes and this news provides a further opportunity to showcase their great skillset and the best of our sport in the international softball calendar alongside our two-stage World Cups."
