BHD Sponsors RD in the World Baseball Classic 2026: Details

Santo Domingo – Banco BHD is positioned as the official sponsor of the Dominican team in the upcoming 2026 World Baseball Classic. In line with this support, the financial institution has launched the campaign “Our Classic”, designed to promote national pride and unconditional support for the Dominican team in the prestigious sporting event. The “Clásico de Nosotros” initiative is part of the strong alliance that Banco BHD has maintained for more than two decades with Major League Baseball (MLB). This collaboration reflects the financial institution’s commitment to the Dominican Republic’s king of sports.

Baseball is a tool for change that contributes to the social development of our country, which is why we support this sport through different actions such as a financial and non-financial value proposition for MLB academy prospects in our country. In addition to this, we have the sponsorship of the Dominican team in the 2026 World Baseball Classic.

The campaign includes various audiovisual pieces that connect baseball with identity, a sense of belonging, and national pride. These pieces highlight how the sport unites generations, connects all Dominicans, and transcends borders, manifesting collective identity. Ureña explained that “Clásico de Nosotros” is based on the idea that in the Dominican Republic there are everyday customs and behaviors that are part of the cultural DNA, and baseball is one of its greatest symbols. The World Classic becomes the stage where those typically Dominican expressions are transferred from day to day to the playing field. As part of the sponsorship, Banco BHD will offer 200 clients the opportunity to experience the Dominican team’s games at LoanDepot Park in Miami.

A Major League Career

The BHD Bank’s relationship with Major League Baseball (MLB) dates back to 2005, when the financial institution began a series of talks on financial education aimed at MLB prospects from academies in the country. This training was strengthened over time, and includes a training plan and the participation of parents, coaches, and those close to the signed young people. In the two decades of the BHD-MLB alliance, more than 8,600 prospects have been impacted. In 2008, this initiative was expanded and formalized with the signing of the first agreement between both entities, establishing Banco BHD as the Official Bank of Major League Baseball in the Dominican Republic. This agreement includes a business component that grants BHD the exclusivity of the MLB brand and the possibility of offering unique experiences to its customers, such as the MLB BHD credit card, which offers a 5% cashback on gyms, sports clothing stores, and sports clubs.
