Team Italy manager Andrea Longagnani names 17 players for the U18 European Softball Championship in Prague, Czech Republic from July 19-24, 2021

Currently training in Ronchi dei Legionari, the Team Italy U18 softball squad is about to depart for the U18 European Softball Championship in Prague, Czech Republic. When the international competition starts on July 19, 2021, Team Italy manager Andrea Longagnani will be accompanied by 17 players and seven other staff members.

Although the age category has since changed from U19 to U18, Team Italy will be defending the Euro championship throne after defeating Ireland 7-3 in the European Softball Championship final on July 21, 2019 in Ronchi dei Legionari. It was the late and great Team Italy manager Enrico Obletter who led that U19 squad to greatness.

In the first game of the Euro Championship elimination round, Team Italy plays Ukraine on Monday, July 19, 2021 at 12 noon. The Italians return the following day at 12 noon for a contest against Croatia. With the second round beginning on Wednesday, July 21, the Euro Championship continues through July 24, 2021.
