The Federation was established in AUGUST 2022 with an object to promote this game. The ABFI formed On 11th December 1983 with some Baseball lovers from Delhi, Manjpur, Haryana, Gujarat, M.P and West Bengal met at Rohtak (Haryana) and agreed to form a baseball federation to promote baseball game through out the country. The Baseball Leaders also agreed that the Federation should become a member of Asian baseball Federation and International Baseball Association. Persons at that time were Mr.P.C. Bhardwaj ( Delhi ) and Mr. E.Bijoy Singh (Manipur). Mr.P.C.Bhardwaj (Delhi) was appointed as Hony. Secretary and given responsibility to approach Asian and International Baseball Authority for membership. 1984 Officially form ABFI along with Tamilnadu, Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh and Punjab Baseball Aassociation. However The ABFI was de-recognised by Ministry of Sports Govt of India, due to mismanagement and facing several legal issues. As the athletes were denied of their opportunities to compete in various competitions in the country and abroad and are fading out of their talent, some Hall of fame ex-national and International players from across the states and UTs met and formed the BFI as its Headquarters in Hyderabad. Presently about 20 States are affiliated to BFI. The BFI was formed and registered, duly adhering the sports policy of MOS GOI. Since then several activities are undertaken across the country. We are in consultation with BFA and WBSA for affiliation and hopefully getting through.
