The Korea Baseball Softball Association (KBSA) will openly recruit national baseball leaders (managers) to be dispatched to each age-specific international competition to be held in 2026.
In 2026, an international competition will be held for all ages, from under-12s to universities and general departments. The KBSA plans to select a leader with expertise and responsibility to lead the national team to participate in each competition.
The filing period is from January 19 to February 23, 2026 at 14:00. After reviewing the documents, KBSA will finally select the national team coach for each age after an interview evaluation by the Performance Improvement Committee.
The final selected leader will lead the national team during the preparation and dispatch of the tournament, including domestic reinforcement training.
Candidates are leaders with leadership experience recognized by KBSA or the Korea Baseball Organization (KBO). There must be no reason for disqualification from overseas travel as a person who has completed military service or is exempted. There should be no obstacles to the national team's reinforcement training and participation in international competitions.
Details related to the open recruitment of national leaders, application forms, selection procedures, and standards can be found through the KBSA website notice.
The following is the schedule for hosting international competitions by age in 2026.
1) Under-12 Team - 12th Asian Youth Baseball Championship [Determined tournament period / China (undetermined)]
