History
The World Baseball Softball Confederation showed support for a new Baseball Softball Federation in Vietnam in 2019, hoping to promote softball and Baseball5 alongside the existing presence of baseball.[1] The national federation also organizes the amateur Vietnam National Baseball Club Championship.[2][3]
The VBSF was established in April 2021. It plans to promote Baseball5 in school curricula as well as at national sports festivals for K-12 students.[4][5] The general growth of baseball in Vietnam has been supported by financial investments and pop culture connections from East Asia, such as through manga.[6]
