The Italian American Baseball Foundation (IABF) and Federation of Italian Baseball and Softball (FIBS) have developed a baseball portal for international talent to apply for visibility with Italian clubs and an opportunity to play or coach professional baseball and softball in Italy. 

After players or coaches apply, their information is stored in a protected database accessible by FIBS, the Italian Baseball and Softball clubs, and IABF officials. To be clear, this does not guarantee players or coaches the opportunity to play or work in Italy; it opens the opportunity for exposure, communication, and the potential to be considered by the clubs.
