Citi Field to Host Dominican Winter League Game

FLUSHING, N.Y., September 27, 2024 – The New York Mets announced today that for the second year, Citi Field will host a Dominican Winter League game. The event will feature Águilas Cibaeñas and Tigres del Licey, who will face off in the final game of the "New York Cup" series in November. The three-game series will begin at Yankee Stadium on Friday, November 8 and Saturday, November 9, and conclude at Citi Field on Sunday, November 10 at 1:00 p.m.

Fans can purchase tickets starting on Friday, September 27 by visiting mets.com/LIDOM.

The game between the two winningest teams in Dominican baseball history will be followed by an extraordinary musical concert featuring popular Latin artists.

Last year, the Eagles swept the three-game series at Citi Field, but ultimately Licey earned their second consecutive championship in the Dominican Professional Baseball League (LIDOM) and their 24th in history.

With 21 championships, the Eagles are only behind Licey on the list of the most successful clubs in LIDOM.

Hall of Famer David Ortiz, who is one of the owners of Latin Events which organized the game, reported that starting this year, the winner will take home a gold trophy called the "New York Cup."
