Win and make it to the quarter-finals. That is the objective of the Olympic team in its second match at the Paris 2024 Olympic Football Tournament. To do so, they will have to beat the ever-challenging Dominican Republic and make it two wins out of two, something that has not happened since the Barcelona 92 Olympic Games.

Goals from Marc Pubill and Sergio Gómez secured a hard-fought win over Uzbekistan in the Paris opening match. The dream continues for a team with room for improvement who are eager to take an important next step in their Olympic aspirations.
Dominican Republic, with Ibai Gómez on the bench, come into this match after a goalless draw against Egypt in their tournament opener. Santi Denia analysed their opponents before the game: ‘They are very good and have similar strengths to Uzbekistan, such as their defensive structure and the great work the coach and his technical staff put in’.
The Bordeaux Stadium, with a capacity for 42,000 spectators, will be the venue for the next two matches of the Olympic team that will finish off the group stage.
