The Technical Commission of the Confederation of European Baseball (CEB) has announced the groups of next year’s European Cup Competitions. Groups for the national team tournaments will follow soon. It was already revealed early this fall that Regensburg is going to host the European Champions Cup, Prague/Brno the CEB Cup, Valencia the Federations Cup and Belgrade as well as Bratislava Federations Cup Qualifiers. However due to the high number of subscriptions for the Federations Cup Qualifiers a third site was determined with Stockholm.
