Havana, Cuba. – Baseball was kept away from the Olympic Games, given the fraction between professionalism and amateurs, Italian Riccardo Fraccari said.

In the Adolfo Luque Hall of the Latin American Stadium, the president of the World Baseball Softball Confederation added the qualifying process for Tokyo Olympic Games will start in the Premier 12 and continue with continental tournaments.

Fraccari, who arrived in Cuba after visiting several countries in Asia and the Caribbean, said that if we aspire to keep baseball within the Olympics, we must support a competitive lid.

The head of the World Baseball Softball Confederation recalled the need and importance for the organization to be economically powerful, which would enable projects to be promoted and to help other nations.
