Hand-Over Ceremony of Baseball Equipment under the Project for Sports Diplomacy Enhancement
On 26 November 2021, the Embassy of Japan held the Hand-Over Ceremony of baseball equipment donated by the Japan Rubber Baseball Association to the Amateur Baseball Federation of India, as part of the project for Sports Diplomacy Enhancement, which is also an initiative contributing to the "Sport for Tomorrow" programme organized by the Government of Japan.
The donated baseball equipment will be distributed through the Amateur Baseball Federation of India to children from needy families who are unable to practice baseball adequately due to lack of equipment, mainly in the southern region of India.
The provision of the baseball equipment to the Amateur Baseball Federation of India will contribute to the promotion and development of sports exchange between Japan and India, and to the enhancement of the Japan-India relations in the field of sports.
