Moca FC gears up to conquer the 2026 LDF: A squad with an international stamp
Moca Football Club has made a statement of authority ahead of the 2026 season of the Dominican Football League (LDF). With a deeply renewed squad, the aurinegro team reports ready for the start of the championship, scheduled for this Friday, August 21, at the iconic Moca 85 stadium.
Under the technical direction of the Venezuelan Jean Carlos Güell, the club has prioritized the integration of pieces that combine a consolidated international career with emerging local talent. The goal is clear: to raise the competitive level in both the Apertura and Clausura tournaments.
Hierarchy reinforcements for the aurinegro project
The Moca management has finalized strategic signings that promise to strengthen every line of the pitch. Among the most notable additions are:
- Gerard Lavergne: The midfielder lands in Moca after his time in United States and Canadian soccer, in addition to vast experience in the LDF and the Dominican National Team. His role will be fundamental to provide balance and leadership in the midfield.
- Alessandro Baroni: A reliable goalkeeper who returns to the country after his experience in Portuguese soccer. His arrival seeks to secure the goal and increase internal competition.
- Jason Yambatis: The attacking midfielder returns home. After his outstanding participation in the 2024 Concacaf Caribbean Cup, Yambatis returns to provide the creativity and dynamism needed in the final third of the pitch.
- José Jáquez Jr.: The center-forward arrives to boost the attack, contributing the experience acquired in local league clubs and his time in Bolivian soccer.
The support of the board has been key to forming a squad with greater depth and diverse tactical alternatives, essential for facing the challenges presented by a season as demanding as the one we have ahead of us.

Youth and projection: The future of Moca FC
Moca FC’s strategy is not only focused on established names; the institution continues to bet on the growth of its young figures. José Ramón Alcene, coming from Atlético Pantoja, joins the team to add freshness and work rate to the midfield. Similarly, full-back Wilsander Pérez Sierra continues his development process in the first team, projecting himself as one of the pieces with the most speed and future within the squad.
With this balance between veterans with international experience and young talents, Moca FC is positioned as one of the great protagonists that will seek to lift the trophy in the 2026 LDF, consolidating its identity as a benchmark club in national soccer.
