The World Baseball Softball Confederation (WBSC) in recognition for the strides being made by the Nigeria Baseball and Softball Association (NBSA) has invited Nigeria to participate in the 11th Women’s World Softball championship, which would hold from Aug. 9 to Aug. 15 in Oklahoma, U.S.
As part of measures to ensure that the nation excels at the upcoming event the NBSA has concluded plans to select players that would represent the nation at the event from a national championship slated to hold in Ilorin, Kwara state, according to the NBSA’s Secretary, Kehinde Laniyan.
He says the competition would hold in May.
Laniyan added that other programmes will be lined-up to sharpen the competitive edge of the selected players ahead of the championship.
“The federation is already working to ensure that our team competes favourably in Oklahoma because Nigeria is the only Africa representative.
“A national championship will be stage to aid the selection of players, that will represent the country and our players will begin to have good time, as we prepare for this championship.
The championship will be for players between the ages of 16 and 18 years”
Laniyan, however, appealed to corporate bodies to support the team’s preparation ahead of the championship.
