Cuba Maintains Top Position in World Baseball5 Ranking

The World Baseball Softball Confederation (WBSC) announced today that Cuba retains its throne atop the World Baseball5 Ranking, reaffirming its global dominance in a sport that continues to expand its reach.

The news confirms what the pulse of the diamond had already been signaling: Cuba continues to rule the Baseball5 universe with authority, talent, and a consistency that spans generations.

This WBSC update solidifies the island nation's position at the summit, now with 5,827 points, following a season where the sport's growth reached historic figures, with 68 registered national programs.

Cuban leadership was sustained, above all, by the impeccable performance of its youth team during the World Cup held in Tepic, Mexico, where it successfully defended its title and added the decisive thousand points that secured its privileged position.

It was a demonstration of character, rhythm, and competitive heritage, further supported by results accumulated over the past four years.

Trailing Cuba is Japan, firmly holding second place with 4,527 points, followed by European champion France with 4,375. Chinese Taipei, boosted by its silver medal at the Youth World Cup, climbed to fourth place with 4,149 units, while Tunisia rounds out the top five with 3,606 points, reflecting a quiet yet effective consistency.

The ranking also highlighted the global growth of Baseball5. Turkey broke into the top 10 following its outstanding youth performance; Puerto Rico achieved the year's most significant rise; and Saudi Arabia, Thailand, Greece, and Romania consolidated significant advances, confirming the sport's expansion beyond its traditional strongholds.

At the peak, however, the Cuban flag continues to wave. In every sharp hit against the ball, in every point scored, Baseball5 continues to speak with a Caribbean accent, underscoring a truth written once again today: Cuba remains the world's benchmark.
