Santo Domingo.- The Dominican government will allocate RD$75.5 million in incentives to athletes and national sports federations that won medals at the recently concluded XXV Central American and Caribbean Games Santo Domingo 2026, according to the incentive program established by the Ministry of Sports and Recreation (Miderec). For team sports, the program provides RD$3.2 million for gold, RD$2.8 million for silver and RD$1.6 million for bronze, to be distributed among team members. Dominican medal-winning teams included men’s softball and women’s volleyball, which won gold, as well as medalists in basketball, handball and rugby. Coaches of medal-winning athletes will also receive incentives of RD$200,000 for gold, RD$100,000 for silver and RD$75,000 for bronze. Unlike athletes, coaches will not receive cumulative payments; only the highest medal achieved by athletes under their responsibility will be considered.
