"Achieving qualification in the group, even as the best third, would be ideal, but beyond all that, our goal is for the team to be ready for each match, to be able to play, compete at the level of the opponent and compete dignifiedly", commented coach Walter Benitez in the preview.
He is one of the main architects of this historic achievement for Dominican football, not only in that category, because it is the first time that a selection from this country will play in a FIFA World Cup, in addition to another unprecedented fact, the qualification for the Paris 2024 Olympic Games. Now "the expectations are to reach the competition at a higher level than we had in the qualifiers", said the coach.
The opponent will be the tough Nigeria, which is a heavyweight in the category at the World Cup, having become runner-up twice and seeking to establish itself with a squad that enjoys both good skill and enviable physical condition.
