The Dominican Republic national football team is the national team of Dominican Republic and is controlled by the Federación Dominicana de Fútbol. Football is not the most popular sport in the country, losing out to baseball by a large margin. Lack of interest compared to baseball and frequent exclusion from most regional competitions has made the Dominican Republic national football team one of the weakest in CONCACAF.
[edit] HistoryIn 1941, a club called Sosua-Puerto Plata was founded by Arthur Kirchheimer, a German Jew from Hamburg who had fled Germany from the Nazis. The Dominican football federation was founded in 1953 and joined FIFA in 1959. It was not until 1965 that football reached the schools and playing grounds of the Dominican Republic, thanks in the main to the efforts of Fortunato Quispe Mendoza, from Bolivia. From an infrastructure standpoint, it was also Mendoza who established the various playing categories and set up the country's first division championship. In spite of these efforts, today football remains the country's fifth most popular sport. As well as being a relatively new discipline for the Dominicans, efforts to nurture the sport have not been helped by the lack of success of the national team, who have still to qualify for any tournament of significance at either senior or youth level, and a national league that struggles to attract a viewing audience or fan base.
