During the broadcast of November 6, 2024, the Carton Rouge team revealed a list of nine potential candidates for the presidency of the Haitian Football Federation (FHF). Since 2021, the FHF has been under the direction of a standardization committee, set up to restore governance after years of dysfunction. The upcoming elections are therefore attracting particular attention, notably from FIFA, which has suspended its development program in Haiti until the federation is stabilized.

The Candidates: Hopes and Limitations

The profiles of the identified candidates present diverse backgrounds, but each raises questions about their ability to lead the FHF in the post-crisis period. The show’s hosts expressed reservations about certain candidates, such as Wilde Donald Guerrier and Penel Germain, due to their lack of interpersonal skills, and about Wagneau Eloi, affected by past suspicions. Penel Guerrier is also criticized for a possible conflict of interest linked to his marriage to a former player under his supervision.

Three Favorite Candidates: Obas, Vorbe and Graham

Three candidates stand out according to the hosts of the Red Card show: Marie Élise Obas, Mino Vorbe and Margareth Graham. Obas is recognized for her work within Don Bosco FC, illustrating her ability to manage sports structures. Vorbe and Graham, meanwhile, are valued for their administrative skills and long-term project management.

Issues and Challenges of the Transition

The next president must guarantee transparency and efficiency, while restoring the confidence of local and international actors. The analysis of Red Card shows that this election is crucial to restore the reputation and stability of the FHF after repeated crises.
