Women's softball was removed from the Olympic program after the 2008 Beijing Games due to a combination of factors, including low global participation and the International Olympic Committee's (IOC) efforts to streamline the Olympic schedule by reducing the number of sports. Although the sport has a strong following in certain countries, the IOC deemed that it did not have enough widespread appeal to justify its inclusion in future Games. Efforts have been made to reinstate the sport, but it remains a contentious issue within the Olympic framework.
