THE RP Blu Girls hopes to finish on top of the WBSC Softball Asia/Oceania 2019 Qualifying Event in Shanghai, China, to clinch a spot in the 2020 Tokyo Olympics in Japan.
Slated from Sept. 24 to 29, the Asia/Oceania Qualifying Tournament will pit the RP Blu Girls against powerhouse teams Chinese Taipei, Australia, China, and New Zealand, as well as Korea, Indonesia, and Hong Kong. The winner will move on to represent the Asia/Oceania region at the Tokyo Olympics, alongside world no. 2 Japan.
At the World Cup and Canada Cup in 2017, the Blu Girls beat Canada and Mexico twice and went on to stun Australia and Chinese-Taipei, all of whom are part of the world’s top six softball teams.
