The Haitian Taekwondo Federation (FHT) announces that Grenadière, Jessica Lee will represent Haiti at the World Taekwondo Junior Championships, which will take place from October 1st to 6, 2024 in Gangwon, South Korea.

The Technical Directorate had initially considered a delegation of 7 taekwondoists, including four representatives from the national territory, given the strategic importance of this competition in the quest for qualifying points for the Junior Pan American Games to be held in Asuncion, Paraguay in August 2025.

However, budgetary constraints, in particular the high cost of plane tickets, as well as the recurring difficulties in obtaining American visas for our executives and athletes based in Haiti, have unfortunately restricted our participation.

The entire Federation sends its most sincere encouragement to Jessica Lee and her coach. May this Championship be a milestone in her career and a springboard to new successes !
