"Second Vocational School" fans have been looking forward to it for a long time! Cai Qichang will go to Japan to sign a contract, and the Japanese team will come to Taiwan for an exchange game for the first time in history

[Reporter Gong Naijie/Taoyuan Airport Report] The Taiwanese team of the 2026 Asian Professional Baseball Championship departs this morning. Tsai Chi-chang, the president of the Chinese Professional Baseball League, will go to Japan on the 13th and has an important mission. He is expected to formally sign a contract with the Japanese Samurai team for the Taiwan-Japan exchange game in Taiwan in March next year. This will be his last event as the president of the Chinese Professional Baseball League, and he will meet with the Korean professional baseball president to discuss the possibility of more cooperation.

Due to a meeting in the Legislative Yuan, Tsai Chi-chang first sent league secretary-general Yang Qinglong to Japan to serve the national team, and then went to Japan on the 13th. He revealed that he would meet with the Nippon Professional Baseball League and made an appointment to sign a contract for the Taiwan-Japan exchange game in March next year. "We have been in contact with the Japanese side for a while, through the assistance and communication of many Taiwanese and Japanese friends. In the past, the Japanese Samurai team played exchange games in Japan, and this should be the first time that they can go abroad for exchanges."

When planning the exchange match between Taiwan and Japan, Cai explained that it had something to do with the normalization of the national team. After all, there will be no match (top 12) at the end of next year, but not at the beginning of the year, so he will use the opportunity of spring training to play the exchange match. "The time will not change. It will be around March 6. There will be two games between the Taiwanese team and the Japanese Samurai team at the Taipei Arena. As for the relevant ticket sales details, they will be announced after we confirm the contract."

Cai Qichang bluntly said that during his tenure as president in the past few years, many fans wanted to communicate with the Warriors or Major League Baseball. "We are gradually implementing this matter. This is also the last game before I leave office."
