CBSF: Empowering Baseball Cambodia Communities
Our History
Baseball has been present in the Kingdom of Cambodia for over 20 years. During this time, the sport has steadily grown in both participation and quality. By early 2020, Cambodia had more than 200 active baseball players across 10 clubs, along with the development of a growing number of Cambodian coaches.
Cambodian baseball has proudly participated in international competitions, including the SEA Games and the Asian Cup, as well as friendly matches in countries such as France, Japan, and Vietnam. Since 2016, the Cambodia Baseball Softball Federation (CSBF) has organized an annual national championship to further develop the sport and showcase local talent.
Training programs are conducted each year with the support of the Ministry of Education, Youth and Sports, along with technical assistance from volunteers from the United States, Japan, and Korea. The Federation is officially recognized by both the Ministry of Education, Youth and Sports and the National Olympic Committee of Cambodia.
CSBF currently operates its own baseball park in Boeung Samreth Village, Ballangk Commune, Baray District, Kampong Thom Province. Looking ahead, the Federation plans to expand by building additional baseball facilities in this area and in Kampong Chhnang Province to support future national and international competitions.
Our Goals
- Increase youth participation in baseball and softball programs across Cambodia.
- Establish eight new baseball and softball clubs and facilities in various provinces, expanding beyond the current 16 affiliated clubs under CSBF.

- Train and certify 20 Cambodian umpires and scorekeepers to support organized competition.
- Organize national championships across multiple age groups to promote competitive growth and talent development.

- Develop a multi-sport complex, including a baseball field near Phnom Penh, to generate sustainable income for the Federation
