[Birmingham, UK]President Fraccari of the World Baseball Softball Confederation (WBSC) gave an interview on the 9th in Birmingham, England, and talked about Baseball Five (B5), a simplified form of baseball, as a future Olympic sport. He expressed his interest in recruiting.

Hand-held baseball, a mixed five-man team, does not require the construction of a stadium, and it has already been decided that it will be played at the 2026 Youth Olympics. Fraccari asserted, “B5 is an urban sport.Maybe it will be implemented at the Olympics.”

Taking basketball as an example, where the traditional five-a-side game and the urban three-a-side game are both played at the Olympics, B5 could coexist in the future with baseball and softball, which were added as additional sports at the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics. He also recognized that.
