Football is listed as the fourth most popular sport in the Dominican Republic, as baseball, basketball and volleyball are all currently more popular than football. In recent years football has continued to gain in popularity, particularly among young people. In 2001 the national association celebrated its first significant success, with the U-23 team winning the «Copa de Las Antillas».
FIFA vice-president Jack Warner opened the Dominican Republic FAs new centre for football development on 2 July 2003. The building can be found just outside the city of San Cristobal. The first phase, involving building offices for the national association and classrooms for the people attending the courses of the various training programmes, will be financed by the Goal Programme, with extra funds coming from the FIFA Financial Assistance Programme. In the second phase, due to be completed by the end of 2003, various technical facilities, such as playing pitches and accommodation for players and coaches, will be constructed. The government has also donated 25 acres (100,000 m2) of land as part of this project.
