TheDominican Republic national football team (Spanish:Selección de fútbol de República Dominicana) represents theDominican Republic in men's internationalfootball and is governed by theFederación Dominicana de Fútbol (English:Dominican Football Federation). It has been a member ofFIFA since 1958, affiliated withCONCACAF since 1964 and regionally, it is also a member ofCFU.
As of June 5th 2025, the Dominican Republic is currently ranked 139th in theFIFA World Rankings. As is the case in many otherCaribbean nations, association football has not traditionally been the most popular sport in the Dominican Republic. Interest inbaseball diverts away from football and contributes to the country's lack of success in any major football tournament qualification. As of 2025, the Dominican Republic has never qualified for theFIFA World Cup. In 2024, they qualified to the2025 CONCACAF Gold Cup, the first major tournament in their history.
The Dominican Republic national team uses the following stadiums for their home games:Cibao FC Stadium,Felix Sanchez Stadium, andEstadio Panamericano, San Cristóbal.
The Dominican Football Federation was founded in 1953 and joinedFIFA in 1959. The national team played their first games in May 1967 – a two-legged qualifier againstHaiti for a place in thefootball at the 1968 Summer Olympics ofMexico. The first leg was played at home on 21 May and Haiti won 8–0. The second leg in Haiti was won by the hosts 6–0 on 27 May, as Haiti went through 14–0 on aggregate.[citation needed]
The Dominican Republic did not play another match until March 1970, when they entered at the1970 Central American and Caribbean Games inPanama. They were placed in a group withPuerto Rico andVenezuela. The Dominican Republic lost 5–0 to Venezuela on 4 March, then gained their first ever win on 6 March by beating Puerto Rico 5–0. They did not advance to the next round.[citation needed]
In 1971 the Dominican Republic entered the1971 Pan American Games inColombia and were drawn in a group against theBahamas andCanada. They lost 4–2 to the Bahamas on 31 July and 4–0 to Canada on 2 August and were knocked out.[citation needed]
The team did not play again until 16 December 1973, when they lost 1–0 away to Venezuela. In 1974 the Dominican Republic held theCentral American and Caribbean Games, and lost their first match 3–2 toBermuda on 28 February. On 2 March the team lost 1–0 toMexico, before beating the Bahamas 2–0 on 4 March. In the final group game on 8 March the Dominican Republic lost 3–2 toPanama and were knocked out.[3]In 1986 they had their best result in the Central American and Caribbean games finishing 3rd

In 2012, the Dominicans were able to qualify for the2012 Caribbean Cup. On 7 December they beat hostsAntigua and Barbuda 2–1 but fell 2–1 againstHaiti andTrinidad and Tobago.
