The 2007 European Baseball Championship was an international baseball tournament held from September 7 to 16, between national baseball teams of the Confederation of European Baseball. The tournament was held in Barcelona, Spain and served as a qualifying competition for the 2008 Summer Olympics. The Netherlands won the tournament for the fifth consecutive time and qualified for the Olympics in Beijing. Great Britain and Spain advanced to a final qualifying tournament in Taiwan. Prior to the tournament, Greece was removed by the European Baseball Confederation and replaced with Austria.[1] Czech Republic was downgraded to last place at the end of the tournament and its wins in the preliminary round vacated due to the use of ineligible players.[2] This was the first time that five teams, rather than two, were relegated to the B-Pool.
