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. [1] [2] 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. [3]

The rules on amateurism were relaxed in the 1980s, which allowed France some success, notably a gold medal finish in 1984. Since 1992 the tournament has been competed by under-23 teams, making France's Olympic qualification dependent on the results of the under-21 team.
