Dominican Republic sports administration and Olympic prep

Overview

The Dominican Republic is focusing on various sports administration and competitive preparation efforts related to the Los Angeles 2028 Olympic Games.

In August 2026, the country hosted the International Olympic Solidarity Forum for the Americas in Santo Domingo. Supported by the International Olympic Committee and Panam Sports, the forum provided technical guidance and operational updates to National Olympic Committees. Concurrently, the Dominican Olympic Committee entered an electoral period for its presidency following a period of internal fragmentation.

In the realm of volleyball, the women’s U-23 team began its NORCECA Pan American Cup campaign with a victory over Costa Rica. Meanwhile, the senior women’s national team, ‘Las Reinas del Caribe’, is working toward qualification for the Los Angeles 2028 Olympics through various international tournaments and world rankings. To support these objectives, NORCECA president Cristóbal Marte Hoffiz has called for an annual investment of approximately US$10 million over the next four years to ensure the national selection can compete with global powers.
