Miami, Florida.
The Dominican Republic has secured its spot in the Los Angeles 2028 Olympic Games in baseball, following an impressive 10-0 knockout victory over South Korea in the quarterfinals of the 2026 World Baseball Classic.
The Dominican triumph, added to the United States’ victory over Canada, ensured that the Quisqueyan team positioned itself among the best in the American continent in the tournament, thus obtaining a direct place in the Olympic event.
According to the World Baseball Softball Confederation (WBSC) ranking system, the two best-performing American teams in the 2026 World Baseball Classic earn a direct spot for the Los Angeles 2028 Olympic Games.
With a perfect record of five wins without defeats in the championship, the Dominican Republic has established itself as the American team with the best performance, guaranteeing its participation in the Olympic Games.
It is important to note that the United States, as the host country, is already automatically qualified, so its participation does not affect the allocation of places for the teams of the continent.
Meanwhile, selections such as Puerto Rico, Venezuela, and Canada continue to compete for the other available spot for America in the Olympic tournament.
