With this victory, the first for the debut of the new Franco-Portuguese coach Frédéric Gonçalves https://www.haitilibre.com/en/news-40452-haiti-flash-frederic-goncalves-new-coach-of-the-senior-grenadieres.html , Haiti takes the lead in Group B before its next two outings against St Kitts & Nevis

The next gathering will take place at the end of October 2023 where our Grenadières will have to face the selection of the islands of St Kitts & Nevis twice; October 26 for the first leg away and October 30 for the return home.

The Grenadières must increase their lead in these two matches before their trip on November 30 to San Jose for the return match against Costa Rica which could be decisive.

Let's remember that if Haiti finishes first in its group, it will go directly to the Women's Gold Cup which will take place from February 20 to March 10, 2024 in the United States.

Regarding the players absent for various reasons, the new coach Frédéric Gonçalves hopes to get everyone back to have competition and healthy competitiveness in the group.
