United Arab Emirates national baseball team explained
The United Arab Emirates national baseball team represents the United Arab Emirates in international baseball competition. The team was established in 2024, under the auspices of the Emirates Cricket Board (which oversees cricket, the more popular bat-and-ball sport in the country), in cooperation with Baseball United.[1] [2] [3] The team is largely made up of Western expatriates living in the United Arab Emirates, including members of the Dubai Little League, similar to how the Emirati national cricket team is largely made up of South Asian expatriates.[4] [5]
