iciHaiti - Socca World Cup : Bad start for our Grenadiers...
The Haitian Socca team left the country on December 1st, 2024, for Oman (a country on the Arabian Peninsula) to participate in the Socca World Cup.

Initially scheduled to travel before November 29 to participate in the opening of the tournament (round of 16), the team had to overcome many obstacles that delayed its departure... This participation was made possible thanks to the decisive intervention of Jacky Alexis, President of the Federation, and the late but crucial support of the Presidency, which facilitated the purchase of tickets.

This meeting takes place in a particular context where Haiti had to forfeit its first two matches due to a travel delay caused by a lack of funds. The team, which reached Oman after a grueling two-day trip (Haiti, Dominican Republic, Spain and then Oman via Qatar) played the match against Poland on Tuesday, December 3rd less than five hours after its arrival, losing by a score of [4-1]. Aguiano René scored the only goal of the match for Haiti, following an assist from Petido Marckendel at the very end of the match.

Selected players :
- Tommy Lee Clergé (Captain)
- Stanley Delille
- Marckendel Petido
- Jean Giscard Nordéus
- Thierry Josep Sherley Lysius
- Jean Del Gadeau
- Joseph Emerson
- Aguiano René
- And 2 other arrivals Mateo Scott from Barcelona and Richkard Calixte from Mexico

Also arrived :
- Jacky Alexis (President of the Federation)
- Wideberlin Sénexant (Communication Manager)
- Mervil Opont (General Secretary)
- Ruben Florent (Head Coach)
- Helkingson Dédieu Alexis (Assistant Coach)

As a reminder, Socca is a variation of football played by six players, with specific rules https://www.haitilibre.com/en/news-43738-icihaiti-socca-our-grenadiers-qualified-for-the-2024-world-cup.html

Match schedule :
Nov. 29 Pakistan - Haiti (Haiti forfeit absent)
Dec. 1st Haiti - Turkey [Haiti forfeit absent)
Dec. 3rd Poland - Haiti [4-1]
Dec. 5 Haiti-France

Due to the deplorable lack of organization for the trips and financial problems, the absence of Haiti in the first 2 matches of this World qualifying phase, the lack of preparation on site, and an exhausting trip contributed to the defeat of our Grenadiers against Poland. With 2 forfeits and a defeat, Haiti in Group E ranks last before its last group match against France.

Despite these difficult conditions, there is "a small chance" of qualifying for the 8th finals, everything will be decided during their last group match against France on Thursday, December 5. Training and motivation sessions are carried out for the next match. The players, aware of the challenges to be met, display unwavering determination and hope to bring a smile back to Haiti...
