“The WBSC is proud and privileged to partner with a globally recognised and leading sports brand like Mizuno, with whom International Baseball and Softball have grown and developed worldwide over the last five decades,” said WBSC co-Presidents Riccardo Fraccari and Don Porter.

“We cannot think of a more ideal partner than Mizuno for reasons of posterity and to help capture the historic nature and significance of the first-ever World Baseball Softball Congress — and the global evolution in baseball and softball that has led us to this historic point,” the co-presidents added. 

Delegates from WBSC’s 200+ National Federations — who will be converging in Hammamet from141 countries and territories around the world — will be provided with Official WBSC Apparel supplied by Mizuno. 

Mizuno will also deliver unique WBSC-branded promotional/display items to produce a Baseball-Softball theme and stage for the 2014 World Baseball Softball Congress.
