The 2024 Women’s Baseball World Cup in Thunder Bay is set to have a great turn out.
Japan, USA, Canada, Venezuela, Mexico and Chinese Taipei will be competing from July 28 to Aug. 3, 2024 at Port Arthur Stadium.
Vice President of the Thunder Bay International Baseball Association, Nick Melchiorre, says ticket sales are progressing well.
“We are pleasantly surprised,” says Melchiorre. “Compared to the events in 2010 and 2017, our pre-tournament sales are better.”
He suggests that may have something to do with technology and accessibility.
The TBIBA is heavily involved in the city’s preparation for the games.
“We’re all hands-on deck right now and moving quickly to get the field ready.”
They are in hopes that the weather will cooperate, and people come out to cheer on the players.
Melchiorre says that hosting an event this large in Thunder Bay will be great for the city.
“These are the best players in the world coming to Thunder Bay,” says Melchiorre. “It’s an international event, and we’re crowning a world champ in women’s baseball right here in Thunder Bay, so it’s not anything minuscule.
“This puts the beautiful city and its people on the map.”
You can purchase tickets for the five-game event through the TBIBA Facebook page.
