iciHaiti - OG Tokyo 2020 : The FHF confirms the decision of CONCACAF and its consequences
The Haitian Football Federation (FHF) confirms that following a FIFA decision, served in a correspondence received on Sunday, the seat of the international women's tournament qualifying for the final round of the CONCACAF for the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020, initially planned in Haiti, has been officially transferred to San Juan (Puerto Rico), due to the socio-political instability and insecurity in Haiti https://www.haitilibre.com/en/news-28886-haiti-olympics-tokyo-2020-haiti-will-not-host-group-c-matches-due-to-insecurity.html

Note that this is the third time in a year that football in Haiti is suffering the consequences of socio-political instability: in July 2018 Tournament selection U-14 boys. (Haiti excluded), July 2019: 1st Phase of the Men's Olympic Tournament (seat transferred to the Cayman Islands), and finally October 2019: Women's Pre-Olympic Tournament; (headquarters transferred to Puerto Rico).

The Federation, despite the expense already made to bring our Grenadiers to Haiti, which are particularly active in Europe, the United States and Canada, is now obliged to buy other tickets for this unforeseen trip to Puerto Rico, to allow our Grenadières to defend their chances in these Olympic qualifiers and to qualify for the last phase to be played in Costa Rica.
