El Salvador will host the sixth Pan American Under-18 Women’s Softball Championship, bringing 18 delegations to the country for an international competition organized by the World Baseball Softball Confederation.
The selection followed efforts by El Salvador’s embassy in Washington, D.C., as part of what officials describe as sports diplomacy. Ambassador Milena Mayorga said contacts with the global softball organization began after the country hosted the 2023 Central American and Caribbean Games.
That regional event gave El Salvador experience in organizing and managing major competitions. Officials now plan to use that capacity to stage an international softball tournament and present the country’s progress and national image to a wider audience.
