Haiti under-17 men’s gets gov’t support for the Qatar World Cup

The Haitian Football Federation has received a boost of US$764, 000 from the government to support the preparation and participation of its national teams.

The FHF received the timely donation on Monday during a ceremony at the Prime Minister’s Office.

Present at the ceremony were Prime Minister Alix Didier Fils-Aimé, Minister of Youth and Sports Niola Lynn Sarah Octavius, Minister of Economy and Finance Alfred Fils Métellus, along with under-17 men’s coach Eddy César and other senior government officials.

The prime minister said he was heartened to see the under-17 team qualify for the Qatar 2025 World Cup.

“You will bring to Qatar the dream of a people who believe in you. The flag you will fly is not just a symbol. It is the soul of Haiti.

“Every step on the field will be a step for the dignity, unity, and greatness of our nation,” Fils-Aimé said.

The prime minister maintained that supporting youth and sports remains a sacred duty of the Haitian state and that the entire population would stand behind their Grenadiers as they seek to promote Haiti beyond its borders.
