The Vietnam Baseball Softball Federation (VBSF) is the national governing body of baseball and softball in Vietnam. The association was established in 2021.
History
[edit]The World Baseball Softball Confederation (WBSC) showed support for a new Baseball Softball Federation in Vietnam in 2019, hoping to promote softball and Baseball5 alongside the existing presence of baseball.[1]
The VBSF was established in April 2021. It will promote Baseball5 in school curricula as well as at national sports festivals for K-12 students.[2][3] The general growth of baseball in Vietnam has been supported by financial investments and pop culture connections from East Asia, such as through manga.[4]
