In November the Italian Baseball and Softball Federation (FIBS) will elect its president for the next four-year term (2020-2024). The board of the Royal Dutch Baseball and Softball Federation (KNBSB) fully supports current president Andrea Marcon and his board members.
Over the past few years with Marcon at the helm of the FIBS the cooperation between the FIBS and the KNBSB has been greatly enhanced. Whilst still fierce rivals on the field a friendship has been formed in the board rooms that has led to the further professionalization of the sports of baseball and softball in Europe.
As the two best performing baseball and softball countries in Europe Italy and the Netherlands have worked together to maintain a high level of play and more attractive tournaments and games on this continent.
The KNBSB hopes to continue this cooperation and wishes Marcon and his board members the best of luck in the upcoming election.
