In a note dated March 3rd, 2024, the Haitian Football Federation (FHF) informs the football family and the public in general that the Sylvio Cator stadium and its surroundings have been occupied by armed individuals since February 29...

Indeed, the cycle of violence into which the country has been plunged for a long time has caused the stain of this heritage while the whole world recognizes that football is the king sport of Haitians. One of the Federation's employees was kidnapped and his life was threatened. We do not yet know the extent of the damage of the stadium which was vandalized. As soon as possible, an evaluation will be carried out with the support of a Justice of the Peace.

The FHF vehemently condemns these acts of violence which will undoubtedly have serious repercussions on Haitian football which is trying to get through it despite everything with the valiant support of club leaders in the organization of a special competition with a view to encourage leisure and recreation for these stressed people and to facilitate the representation of football in Concacaf competitions.

The FHF declines all responsibility if one of its materials and/or badges of one of its employees is used to commit illegal acts.
