TAIPEI CITY, Taiwan–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Taiwan hosted the first-round games of the 2023 World Baseball Classic (WBC) following a decade-long gap.

It is even more unprecedented to cooperate with Taiwan’s “Cheer Girls” in order to bring greater excitement to every game.

Group A was electrified by the loud and relentlessly enthusiastic crowds at Intercontinental Stadium, particularly in games featuring Chinese Taipei.
