Santo Domingo.- The U12 National Championship “Robinson Canó Cup”, organized by Fedom, returns to the La Farándula League, located in the Heroes Center of the Dominican capital.
The competition, which will run from Thursday, May 8 to Sunday, May 11, will feature eight teams competing for the title. This year, the event is dedicated to Vitelio Mejía Ortiz, president of the Dominican Republic Professional Baseball League (Lidom).
In 2023, the host club opened its doors to the U12 National and Fedom. In that edition, the Sánchez Ramírez Province was crowned champion. For this 2025, the Liga de la Farándula will host the teams from the Santo Domingo Province, San Pedro de Macorís, Valverde, Barahona, Santiago, La Romana, Duarte and San Cristóbal.
The change of venue is made because it is a central and easily accessible place for the teams and fans.
