Miami’s loanDepot park will host 2024 Caribbean World Series. The details
Baseball’s Caribbean Series is making its way back to Miami.
The series, also called the Caribbean World Series and the highest tournament for professional baseball teams in Latin America, will take place at loanDepot park, home of the Miami Marlins, in 2024.
“We truly believe that Miami is the gateway to Latin America and the Caribbean,” Marlins chief strategy officer Adam Jones said at a press conference Saturday in the Dominican Republic announcing the news, “and loanDepot park the perfect venue to showcase this incredible celebration.”
The Caribbean Series is an annual tournament that generally runs at the end of January and start of February consisting of the champions of winter baseball tournaments from Colombia, Mexico, Puerto Rico, Venezuela, Panama and the Dominican Republic.
Miami has hosted the event twice in the past, in 1990 at the Orange Bowl and in 1991 at Bobby Maduro Stadium.
Juan Francisco Puello Herrera, commissioner of the Caribbean Professional Baseball Confederation, said at the press conference Saturday that Miami could also potentially host the series in 2028 but that has not been finalized.
loanDepot park has also previously hosted portions of the World Baseball Classic in 2013 and 2017 and was poised to be involved in all three rounds of the 2021 edition of the event before it was called off due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
