The Vietnam Baseball and Softball Federation (VBSF) is the national governing body of baseball and softball in Vietnam. The association was established in 2021.

History

The World Baseball Softball Confederation (WBSC) showed support for a new Baseball Softball Federation in Vietnam in 2019, hoping to promote softball and Baseball5 alongside the existing presence of baseball. [1]

The VBSF was established in April 2021. It will promote Baseball5 in school curricula as well as at national sports festivals for K-12 students. [2] [3] The general growth of baseball in Vietnam has been supported by financial investments and pop culture connections from East Asia, such as through manga. [4]
