Recall that this competition, accounting for the preliminary qualifications of the Rio 2016 Olympics, had been carefully prepared by the Haitian technical staff and the Haitian Football Federation, which, following the elimination of the senior selection in 1/4 final of the Gold Cup 2015, had turned to the 2016 Olympics.

For this match against Cuba, the coach had called 29 players, including 9 playing abroad. The 4 minutes of added time were a tense time for Haiti fans present at the stadium. The final whistle was a relief for Haiti, which has become with this victory, the great champion of the Caribbean.
