Greenville, N.C. — Following a national championship, Negros Occidental Little League based in Bacolod City, Philippines, will be returning to Greenville, N.C. to represent the Asia-Pacific Region in the 2024 Little League Softball World Series.
This is the team's third year representing the region in the World Series.
As in recent years, the Little League International Tournament Committee’s decision to advance the national champion from the Philippines to the World Series was made based on the strength of the local Little League Softball programs throughout the Philippines along with the limited number of teams able to travel to participate in the Asia-Pacific Region Tournament.
Recipients of the 2022 Girls with Game Team Sportsmanship Award, Negros Occidental Little League finished the 2022 Little League Softball World Series with a 3-3 record, falling to the Mid-Atlantic Region in the Purple Bracket final to finish among the top four in the event. In 2023, the league finished with an 0-2 record in its journey through the Purple Bracket.
With the first-round matchups set, Negros Occidental Little League will once again compete in the Purple Bracket and open the tournament against the North Carolina (Host) Region Champions in Game Four on Sunday, Aug. 4, 2024 at 7 p.m. ET on ESPN+.
Participants in this year's World Series will have the opportunity to meet Athletes Unlimited Pro Softball, as they return to Greenville for the 2024 AU Pro Games at the LLSWS. The games will feature a doubleheader at East Carolina University on Wednesday, Aug. 7.
The 2024 Little League Softball World Series is set to take place in Greenville, North Carolina, from Aug. 4-11.
