Haitian international Melchie Daëlle Dumornay, who plays with Olympique Lyonnais, took an important step by qualifying for the semi-finals of the UEFA Women’s Champions League. This advancement brings her closer to history as a potential finalist, which would make her the third Haitian personality to reach this level in a UEFA competition.

However, it should be noted that the two previous Haitian finalists, Peterson Joseph and Garisonne Innocent, reached this stage without playing a single minute in the competition. Joseph represented Braga in the Europa League on May 5, 2011, while Innocent featured in the Paris Saint-Germain squad in the Champions League on August 23, 2020, but neither had the opportunity to step on the field during matches.

So, if Dumornay manages to qualify for the grand final and play an active role on the field, she could not only write her name in history as a finalist, but also surpass her predecessors by directly contributing to her team’s performances. team.

This remarkable progression of Dumornay highlights the talent and potential of Haitian players on the European scene, while arousing the enthusiasm and pride of the Haitian community around the world. Haitian football fans are impatiently waiting to see if Dumornay will succeed in writing a glorious new page in his country’s football history.
