NETTUNO MAYOR: WORLD CUP FINAL WILL BE HERE

During a season-opening press conference for the Italian League’s Danesi Nettuno team, the mayor of Nettuno, Alessio Chiavetta, told the assembled media he believes the Baseball World Cup finals in September will be coming to his town, saying, “No political decision will remove the final” from Nettuno.


While no official announcement has been made regarding where the World Cup final will be held, original plans to stage it in Rome have hit a snag. With six months to go until the tournament, there is still no sufficient facility in Rome. Nettuno is about 50 miles south of the Italian capital.

The IBAF Baseball World Cup will be staged over a three-week period in seven nations across the European continent. Twenty-two national teams will take part in the event.
