The Chairman of the MSEC, Mr Wilfred Ng, said today (October 5) “We are very pleased to award the ‘M’ Mark status to the ‘WBSC Baseball5 World Cup 2024’. Baseball5, which breaks away from conventional baseball, will provide a thrilling experience for global audiences while contributing to the local economy and sports development. We believe that this event will become an important milestone in promoting the popularity of Baseball5 in the community.”
The “M” Mark System aims to encourage and help local “national sports associations” and private or non-government organisations to organise more major international sports events and nurture them into sustainable undertakings. Sports events meeting the assessment criteria will be granted “M” Mark status by the MSEC. Funding support will also be provided to some events.
