WBSC confirm dates for postponed 2022 Men’s Softball World Cup Thursday, 13 May 2021 The Men’s Softball World Cup in 2022 will take place in Auckland from November 26 to December 4, the World Baseball Softball Confederation (WBSC) has announced. The premier men's softball tournament had been due to be held in February before being delayed to next year as a result of COVID-19 safety precautions and international travel restrictions. Softball New Zealand chief executive Tony Giles said the new dates provide certainty in what had been a very difficult 12 months. "We are looking forward to getting this tournament underway and are confident that, if the international borders open, it will be a huge success," he added.
