The World Baseball Classic (WBC) is an international baseball tournament sanctioned by the World Baseball Softball Confederation (WBSC) and endorsed by the International Baseball Federation (IBAF). The WBC features national teams from around the world competing in a round-robin format, with the top teams advancing to a single-elimination playoff. The tournament was first held in 2006, and subsequent tournaments have been held every four years.
The WBC features players from Major League Baseball (MLB) and other professional baseball leagues, as well as amateur players. It aims to promote the sport of baseball on a global scale, while also providing a platform for players to represent their home countries on an international stage. The tournament has been popular among fans and has helped to increase interest in baseball in countries outside of the traditional baseball-playing nations.
