18 teams to compete at this year's EMRYT
European Massimo Romeo Youth Trophy consisted of eight teams when it started in 2012.
Six years later, the number of teams more than doubled. This tournament is the European Cup for our youngest players - under 13 years old. "I am very happy to see the number of participants increasing in this event. This is one of our major development projects for youth softball in Europe and it's great to see it work the way we want it to," says Gabriel Waage, the ESF President.
