Four years ago, IOC Chairman Bach indicated that he would host a competition in the stricken area, and baseball and softball in Fukushima and soccer in Miyagi in the Olympics.
According to an interview with the people involved in the tournament, President Bach is adjusting the first baseball game to be held on July 29 at the Azuma Stadium managed by Fukushima City in Fukushima Prefecture.
When Bach visited the site, he said, "Sports can play a major role in mental recovery," and said he was keen to succeed in the Tokyo Games, which feature the Recovery Olympics.
