History

Czech clubs began playing against teams of United States Army servicemen in the immediate aftermath of World War II, but the development of the sport was halted after the fall of the Iron Curtain and would not resume until Bill Arce's baseball clinics in Prague, starting in 1969. It would not be until the 1980s that an official national team (for what was then Czechoslovakia) was formed; the team took three out of four games from the Soviet national team in Tbilisi, Georgia in October 1987.

The country became a full member of the Confederation of European Baseball in 1989, around the time of the Velvet Revolution. At the point of the dissolution of Czechoslovakia in 1993, the national team was almost entirely composed of Czech players. The Czech national team first qualified for the European Baseball Championship in 1997, with a record of 4–4. The team narrowly missed out on qualifying for the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens, falling short of Italy and the Netherlands.

In 2009, Europe hosted the IBAF World Cup, the first time in history the Baseball World Cup was not hosted by a specific country. Prague hosted Group A of the pool round, and the Czech Republic team finished 20th, going 0–3 with losses to Australia, Mexico, and Chinese Taipei.[]

Because the Czech Republic finished in the top five in the 2019 European Baseball Championship, it moved on to the 2020 Olympics qualifiers in Italy in September 2019. There, it came in third, behind Israel and the Netherlands.

The Czechia baseball team, representing the Czech Republic, is a dedicated and talented squad committed to promoting and developing the sport within the country. Known for their passion and teamwork, the team competes in various international competitions, including European tournaments and qualifiers for global events. Comprising both experienced players and emerging talents, Czechia strives to elevate its presence in the baseball community. Their playing style emphasizes strategic thinking, technical skill, and sportsmanship, reflecting the growing popularity of baseball in the Czech Republic. As ambassadors of the sport, the Czechia team continues to inspire new generations of players and fans across the nation.
