Intercontinental Series
Cancelled baseball tournament / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This article is about the cancelled baseball tournament planned for 2024. For the now-defunct tournament held between 1973 and 2010, see Intercontinental Cup (baseball).
The Intercontinental Professional Baseball Series (IPBS; Spanish: Serie Intercontinental de Béisbol Profesional) was a planned international club tournament to be contested by winter league professional baseball teams, as an alternative to the Caribbean Series. The first edition was scheduled to take place in from January 26 to February 1, 2024, in Barranquilla, Colombia, but was ultimately cancelled.
The series was expected to feature a Cuban team made up of expatriate and defected players in the United States, rather than the officially-sanctioned champion of the Cuban Elite League. This caused to the Colombian government refusing to endorse the tournament, leading to its cancellation.
