The top 16 European countries – A pool – will compete for the title of European Champion and World Cup spots in 5 different Czech cities. After the great performance of the Belgian Men’s Softball Team – a fourth place at the European Softball Men’s Championship this summer – all eyes are now on the baseball men.
The Red Hawks were strengthened this year with an extensive coaching staff – led by Paco Garcia and former international Benjamin Dille – and have completed two preparation programs. In 2019, our National Team achieved seventh place and in 2021 eighth place at the European Championships. Now there is a new generation of players who cannot wait to match or improve on these results.
The 16 participating countries are divided into 4 groups in the first round of the 2023 European Championship.
Belgium starts in Group D together with Israel, Germany and Switzerland.
The Red Hawks will play their first game against Germany in Prague on Sunday, September 24 at 5:30 PM. They will have to work hard straight away because the first goal is to finish in the top 2 of Group D.
