Taiwan's national baseball team, which won the "Premier 12," a national competition between the top 12 countries in the baseball rankings, returned home with a state-level treatment.

Taiwan's national team marched from central Taipei to the president's office today in a car amid citizens' cheers.

Earlier, four Taiwanese Air Force fighter jets escorted the returning national team's charter flight under the direction of President Leichtinger.

In addition to the prize money for the tournament, the Taiwanese national team players are expected to receive more than 13 billion won in subsidies.

Taiwan defeated Japan 4-0 in the Premier 12 final at Tokyo Dome on the 24th.

This is the first time Taiwan has won major international baseball tournaments such as the Olympics, the World Baseball Classic (WBC), and the Premier 12.
