Media Accreditation open for WBSC U-15 Women's Softball World Cup

Media registration for the WBSC U-15 Women's Softball World Cup 2025 is now open, as of Monday, May 26. The deadline for registration is Monday, June 23.

The Italian Baseball and Softball Federation (FIBS) will host the second edition of the WBSC U-15 Women's Softball World Cup in Caronno Pertusella and Legnano from June 27 to July 5.

All members of the media, both local/national and international, who plan to cover the WBSC U-15 Women's Softball World Cup, including the participating team's media officers, must apply for accreditation through the official WBSC Media Accreditation online platform at https://my.wbsc.org.

The accreditation procedure starts by clicking on MEDIA ACCREDITATION. The online request form needs to be completed, also including a headshot.

Once the request is submitted, media members will receive an automated email confirmation that their application has been received. After registering online, media intending to cover the event remotely should contact the WBSC Media Department by writing to media@wbsc.org.

Another automated message will indicate a "change of status" in the accreditation request.

Media members can check their request status after the registration deadline, June 23, by accessing my.wbsc.org and clicking SEARCH FOR YOUR ACCREDITATION on the top right of the page. They will then need to enter their name, last name and email address.

The WBSC Media Department will schedule a pre-tournament interview and photo opportunity. Details will follow at a later stage.
