While the Dominican Republic made history by scoring their first-ever Olympic goal, they face a challenging path to the knockout stages after a 3-1 defeat to Spain. Los Quisqueyanos must secure a win against the already-eliminated Uzbekistan and hope for favorable results elsewhere to advance.

After the first round of fixtures, the Dominican Republic faces the longest odds of winning the men's football at the 2024 Olympic Games. They are set to take on second-favorites Spain in Bordeaux on Saturday. Los Quisqueyanos, making their Olympic debut, began their campaign with a 0-0 draw against Egypt on Wednesday. They remain in contention in Group C, with their final match against fellow newcomers Uzbekistan scheduled for next Tuesday.

Egypt, led by head coach Rogério Micale, who guided Brazil to Olympic glory in 2016, is aiming for their first-ever Olympic medal. Despite 12 previous attempts, with fourth-place finishes in 1928 and 1964 being their best results, expectations are high as they head to Paris.
