Street Football 3×3: The National Police brings sports to the neighborhoods of the National District

Santo Domingo.- The National Police has launched a pilot project that seeks to bring 3×3 Street Football to the neighborhoods of the National District. The initiative, which began in the Capotillo sector, aims to bring the sport closer to communities, especially those located on the banks of the Ozama and Isabela rivers. The project, led by Major General Ramón Antonio Guzmán Peralta, Director General of the National Police, focuses on areas where sports infrastructure is limited. It is expected that in the coming days it will expand to other vulnerable sectors such as Simón Bolívar, Gualey and Las Cañitas.

This type of football is ideal for communities where large sports spaces do not exist.

The initiative is supported by the Dominican Football Federation (FEDOFUTBOL) and the Dominican Federation of Clubs (FEDOCLUBES). Roberto Ramírez, president of FEDOCLUBES, praised the idea and congratulated Major General Guzmán Peralta for his closeness to the clubs through sports. Mariano Pérez Tejada and Rubén Darío Cruz Mateo, technicians from FEDOFÚTBOL, participated in the activity “Protecting and Serving Capotillo”, offering a 3×3 Street Soccer clinic to children in the sector. The Director General of the National Police delivered mobile goals with the institution’s logo, while FEDOFÚTBOL technicians provided balls for the practice of this discipline. Danny Pérez, president of Club Tierra Santa, was appointed by FEDOCLUBES to coordinate the project in the capital’s neighborhoods. General Jacobo Mateo Moquete, Director of Sports of the institution and author of the project, indicated that this action is part of the initiatives being developed with the Ministry of Interior and Police in vulnerable sectors of the National District.
