Atlántico FC vs. Cibao FC: Clash of Giants in the LDF
Puerto Plata prepares for an exciting soccer match. Club Atlántico Fútbol will face Cibao FC this Friday at 7:00 pm at the Estadio de la Pontificia Universidad Católica Madre y Maestra in Santiago. This match marks the beginning of matchday 4 of the Dominican Republic Football League (LDF) 2025-2026 season.
With a renewed and victory-hungry squad, the Puerto Plata team, known as “the blue machine”, will seek to impose their game against a always competitive Cibao FC. This northern classic promises strong emotions for the fans.
The team has reinforced its ranks with the arrival of key players. Among them, the goalscorer Leonardo “El Matador” Becerra and the central defender Julián Bustos stand out. These signings demonstrate the ambition of Atlántico FC to reach the top this season.
Becerra returns to the club where he shone as the top scorer in 2023. During his previous three seasons (2020, 2021 and 2023), he scored 32 goals. His return is highly anticipated, as he will contribute his goal-scoring ability and his skill in creating opportunities in the rival area.
Julián Bustos, a center defender with great anticipation skills and aerial game dominance, will strengthen the defense. His experience in the Colombian first division with Boyacá Chicó FC will be fundamental for the team’s defensive solidity.
The match against Cibao FC will not be easy. The Cibao team, one of the most successful in the league, arrives with a solid squad and the intention of maintaining their winning streak. The duel, full of history and regional rivalry, will be a test of fire for the Blue Machine and its new signings.
