This event will bring together the young talents of Dominican youth baseball.\n\nThe competitions will begin on Friday, April 17th and will run until May 24th, culminating at the Juan Pablo Duarte Olympic Center. In this stage, children between 11 and 12 years old, born in 2014 and 2015, will participate, as part of the federation&#8217;s official development calendar.\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Regional Tournaments Calendar<\/h2>\n\n\nThe action will begin in the South region, with La Descubierta as the venue for South 1, where Pedernales, Bahoruco, Barahona, and Independencia will compete. That same day, San Juan de la Maguana will host South 2-A with teams from El\u00edas Pi\u00f1a and Azua, while San Jos\u00e9 de Ocoa will be the venue for South 2-B, made up of San Crist\u00f3bal, Peravia, and the host province. The winners of these last two zones will define the representative of South 2 on April 19.\n\nFrom April 24 to 25, the Eastern region will have La Altagracia as its setting, receiving the provinces of La Romana, El Seibo, San Pedro de Macor\u00eds, Hato Mayor and Monte Plata.\n\nIn May, Santiago will host the Cibao Central tournament from the 1st to the 3rd with teams from La Vega, Monse\u00f1or Nouel, and Espaillat.

This is crucial for the formation of the national team that will participate in the U-12 Pre-World Championship, scheduled for July in Mazatl\u00e1n, Mexico.\n\nIn the last edition, Santo Domingo province was crowned champion of the contest.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fedom Announces U-12 Regional Qualifying Tournaments for the Robinson Can\u00f3 Cup 2026 The Dominican Baseball Federation (Fedom) has announced the start of the regional tournaments in the U-12 category, which will serve as qualifiers for the 2026 &#8220;Robinson Can\u00f3 Cup&#8221; National Championship.
