EuroUnicorns at the SuperCup 2026 \u2014 results, reflections, and something far greater than a final standing<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

After the warmup tournament in Bratislava, it was finally time. The peak of the entire season had arrived \u2014 SuperCup 2026 in Hlubok\u00e1 nad Vltavou. Everything the team had worked toward since November was about to be put to the ultimate test.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Arriving Early. On Purpose.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The tournament didn’t start until Friday \u2014 but EuroUnicorns arrived in Hlubok\u00e1 on Monday. That was a deliberate choice. With players traveling from Czech Republic, Germany, Austria, and Slovakia, time together was as important as any training drill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From Tuesday onward, the days were filled with training sessions, long walks, swims in the Vltava river, and the kind of easy, unhurried time together that builds genuine team spirit. It may well have been the finest teambuilding any of these girls \u2014 or coaches \u2014 could have asked for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Getting Sharp<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

On Tuesday, EuroUnicorns stepped onto the field for a preparatory match against the home side, Sokol Hlubok\u00e1. The result didn’t go their way \u2014 but every game is a lesson, and the team took notes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thursday brought a different story. Facing the German side Rising Stars, EuroUnicorns delivered a sharp, composed performance and came away with the win. The timing couldn’t have been better \u2014 tournament day was just around the corner.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

The Main Stage<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Friday brought the moment the team had been building toward for six months. The SuperCup opened with a loss against Draci Brno, followed by difficult games against Catalunya and Patriots Liberec.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Saturday was a mix of heartbreak and breakthrough. A loss against Arrows Ostrava \u2014 then, finally, a victory. EuroUnicorns defeated the Slovak national team for their first SuperCup win of the tournament. The dugout erupted. Further games followed against Mainz Athletics and Sabat Praha.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Final standing: 22nd out of 24 teams. Without Masters teams: 20th.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n

\u2b25 More Than a Result<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Real Victory<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Could the team have played better? Honestly, yes. The defensive quality shown in the pre-season tournaments was higher, and some games could have gone a different way. But sport is unpredictable \u2014 that’s part of what makes it worth playing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But step back from the scoreboard for a moment \u2014 and what you see is something far more significant. EuroUnicorns became the first international girls’ baseball team at the U10 level in Europe. A team that came together across six months and four countries. A team whose players were separated by hundreds of kilometers \u2014 and brought together by a shared love of baseball.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

“A team whose players became friends. A team that proved baseball can bring people together \u2014 regardless of language, country, or distance.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2b25 The People Behind the Project<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It Takes a Village<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

EuroUnicorns didn’t happen by accident. The project was conceived by Zuzana Zambojov\u00e1<\/strong>, who founded Baseball is for Girls Too in 2024 with a simple but powerful mission: to show girls that baseball belongs to them too. The idea for a fully international team was born at the SuperCup 2025 \u2014 and twelve months later, that idea stood on a diamond in Hlubok\u00e1.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Together, this group proved that working with young athletes \u2014 when it’s built on enthusiasm, empathy, and love of the game \u2014 has no borders. Without the support of coaches, parents, clubs, and countless volunteers, this unique European project would never have left the drawing board.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

\u2b25 See you next season<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This Is Just The Beginning<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The EuroUnicorns story doesn’t end in Hlubok\u00e1. This November, a new edition of Baseball is for Girls Too opens the next selection process. A new group of girls will get their chance \u2014 and the EuroUnicorns chapter will grow again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For now: thank you. To the girls who gave everything. To the coaches who crossed borders. To the parents who drove hundreds of kilometers. And to everyone who believes that baseball is for girls too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
