Representatives from the International Baseball Federation met with leaders from various European cities tabbed to host the 2009 Baseball Cup. The meeting took place earlier this month in Frankfurt, Germany. In all, World Cup games will take place in 27 venues across seven nations.
The meeting was largely to finalize plans and schedules for the September tournament, and to assure the IBAF that all the host countries are on track to host the 22-nation event. First round games are scheduled to be played in Moscow, Prague, Barcelona, Stockholm and Regensburg, Germany. Organizers in Regensburg report over 10,000 tickets have been sold for World Cup games at their ballpark.
The second round will be split between venues in Italy and The Netherlands, considered the top two baseball countries in Europe, while the World Cup final is set for September 27 in Italy.
