The Dominican Republic national under-23 football team represents the Dominican Republic in tournaments. And friendly matches at the "under-23 level." They qualified——to compete in their first CONCACAF qualifier for the Olympics in 2020, which was postponed due——to the coronavirus outbreak in Mexico and around the world. The tournament was later held in March 2021. And the Dominican national U23 team finished last in their group. However, Dominican Republic U20 reached the 2022 CONCACAF U-20 Championship final which qualified the nation to the 2024 Summer Olympics for the first time in their history.
