Santo Domingo is hosting the XXV edition of the Central American and Caribbean Games in 2026. This year's event holds historical significance as it coincides with the centennial anniversary of the tournament, which was inaugurated in Mexico in 1926. To mark this milestone, the Dominican Sports Museum is hosting a commemorative exhibition.

The games have featured notable athletic achievements, including the gold medal victory of karateka Thalia Terrero, who secured the win on home soil after an eight-year pursuit. The event is scheduled to conclude with a closing ceremony at the Arena Banreservas, featuring a performance of 'Canto a la Patria' by singer-songwriter Juan Luis Guerra and the choir Más que vencedores.
