Dominican Republic Faces Costa Rica in the 2025 Gold Cup
The Dominican Republic national football team is preparing for its second match in the 2025 Concacaf Gold Cup. This Wednesday, the national team will face Costa Rica at the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, starting at 7:00 p.m. The match corresponds to the second matchday of Group A. The Dominican team arrives at this match after their 3-2 defeat against Mexico in the debut, where despite the result, it left a good impression. For its part, Costa Rica comes from defeating Suriname 4-3. Since last Sunday, the Dominican selection has been in Dallas, Texas, finalizing details for this crucial match. The objective is to add vital points to advance to the next phase of the continental tournament. The technical staff has scheduled two training sessions to refine the strategy and ensure that the players are in optimal condition. Captain Jean Carlos López, along with midfielder Heinz Mörschel and attacker Erick Japa, received yellow cards in the match against Mexico. A new caution for any of them would mean missing the next commitment.The players are going to have to be very focused on the task they are going to have to do because Costa Rica is also a very strong opponent and as we have been saying we want to measure ourselves against these opponents who give us an idea of where we stand.

The Dominican team will seek a victory that allows them to reach the last match of the group stage against Suriname on Sunday, June 22, with options to qualify for the quarterfinals and continue making history for Dominican soccer.The boys are very involved in what they have to do and very committed to the selection, they want to make the country, their families and their friends look good. It’s time to appeal to the game, the strategy and the heart, which is what led us to play that match with Mexico and that unfortunately we couldn’t tie at the end.
