The Haitian Football Federation (FHF) has announced that the U-14 Grenadiers national men’s team, crowned champions of the 2026 CFU Challenge Series, has been invited by the Ligue 1 club Racing Club de Lens for a sports-focused visit to France from November 19 to 29, 2026.

This visit is part of an ongoing exchange between the two organizations. It will provide our young talents with a high-level sporting and personal experience at a crucial stage in their development. By engaging with a professional club renowned for the quality of its youth academy, the players will be able to discover new training methods, encounter different footballing environments, and fuel their own ambitions.

The FHF expresses its deep gratitude to Racing Club de Lens (which is celebrating its 125th anniversary) for offering this wonderful opportunity to our young Grenadiers.

The Federation also thanks the French Embassy in Haiti for its invaluable assistance in securing Schengen visas for the U-14 and U-15 national delegations, enabling them to continue their sporting journeys beyond our borders.

Such initiatives help shape the future of our football. The Federation is delighted to see these young players continue to dream, learn, and believe in their aspirations, all while united by the sport that brings us together.
