Twelve countries will participate in the U12 World Cup qualifier in Panama; competing for three spots

(Press Release; WBSC-AMÉRICAS BASEBALL).- Panama will host the Pan-American U12 tournament, a qualifier for the World Cup of the category that opens on October 19.

Eleven teams will be competing for one of the three places to be in the World Cup and accompany Panama as the representatives of America in one of the most fun categories that this sport has.

Panama will participate in the tournament, but has already qualified for the World Cup in the category by hosting the qualifier, so the other eleven participating countries will be competing for those three available spots.

Group A is made up of the United States, Mexico, Colombia, Nicaragua, Ecuador and the host Panama. While in group B Venezuela, Dominican Republic, Cuba, Puerto Rico, Brazil and Argentina.

Almost 200 players will be competing in one of the most fun categories in sport, looking for one of those three sought-after passes to the World Cup in the category and continue adding points to the WBSC ranking.

The United States is the current world and world cup qualifier champion in the category, but the parity of this specific tournament has highlighted it as one of the most entertaining in the sport.

Panama once again takes on the challenge, just as it did with the U18 World Cup qualifier, to put on a spectacular show to crown a champion and distribute the spots for the category's World Cup.

The World Cup is scheduled to take place next year in Chinese Taipei, with Panama and three other qualifiers from America seeking to be at the top of the podium in the U12 category.
