The Zambia U18 Baseball5 Team has had an impressive performance at the ongoing Baseball5 Youth African Championship in Ghana. They have secured two victories in the two games played so far. This championship serves as a qualification tournament for the inaugural WBSC Youth Baseball5 World Cup. Their victories came against South Africa, currently ranked 6th in the world, and Nigeria, an unranked team. The participating teams in the tournament include South Africa (6th), Tunisia (8th), Tanzania (24th), Zambia (28th), Ghana (33rd), Burkina Faso (37th), as well as unranked teams Benin and Nigeria. Only two spots are available for these teams to qualify for the global event, which is scheduled to take place later this year. Meanwhile, four national teams have already secured their spots in the WBSC Youth Baseball5 World Cup. France emerged as the winner of the first European Championship in November 2022 by defeating Türkiye in the final. Chinese Taipei claimed victory in the Youth Baseball5 Asia Cup held in February, while China and Korea secured qualification as the runner-up and third-place finisher, respectively. Congratulations to Team Zambia on their achievements so far, and best of luck in the upcoming fixtures. #ZambiaKuchalo
