Santo Domingo.\u2014 <\/strong>The Dominican men’s volleyball team closed its participation in the competitive phase of the Santo Domingo 2026 Central American and Caribbean Games<\/a> with a 3-1 victory over Guatemala, in a match where the Dominicans once again demonstrated their dedication and commitment to the national jersey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After the match, Dominican player Luther Rosario highlighted the pride of representing the colors of the Dominican Republic and thanked the fans for the support they have shown the team throughout the competition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cIt is a source of pride to represent the Dominican Republic. We all know what we feel for these colors, to be able to defend them against all the countries that have appeared here, well, it is a source of pride,\u201d expressed Rosario.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

The volleyball player positively assessed the performance of the Dominican team during the tournament, despite not having been able to reach the medal round. He noted that the team had important matchups against high-level national teams, including Cuba.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe are always going to go out on the court to fight every match and to win every set and against every team we can. Unfortunately, on this occasion, we could not achieve the medal. We had very good matches against powerhouses like Cuba and other countries we played,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rosario assured that the result against Guatemala also serves as motivation to continue working towards future competitions and achieve better results for the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Closing with the same dedication<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The Dominican team will play the match for fifth place this Thursday, a commitment in which the team intends to say goodbye to the Central American and Caribbean Games by leaving everything on the court.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In that sense, Rosario called on the Dominican fans to continue supporting the team, even though it was left out of the fight for the medals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cWe invite the entire population to make up their minds and continue supporting us. Even though we didn’t win a medal, tomorrow we compete for fifth place, and you know, we are going to leave it all on the court as if it were the gold medal as always,\u201d he\/she stated.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

With the triumph over Guatemala, the Dominicans will now seek to close their participation with another victory and finish in fifth place in the competition, with the support of their fans in Santo Domingo.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
