Couple Hendy Desilien

The Haitian women’s football team is full of exceptional talent, capable of competing with the best teams in the world. However, the neglect of the Haitian Football Federation (FHF) is significantly hindering their development and rise. This article examines the difficulties encountered by the Grenadières, the consequences of the FHF’s management, and the future prospects for this promising team.

Undeniable Potential

The Haitian women’s team has among its ranks very talented players such as: Melchie Dumornay, Sherly Jeudi, Batcheba Louis and Nérilia Mondésir etc. These players have not only proven themselves on the national field, but have also landed contracts in various international clubs thanks to their exceptional skills. Their individual successes highlight the collective potential of this team which aspires to rise among the best in the region, if not the world.

The Negligence of the FHF

Despite this pool of talent, the FHF seems to be failing to give the women’s team the attention and support it needs. This neglect was particularly visible after the 1-0 defeat against Puerto Rico, which deprived Haiti of participation in this year’s Gold Cup. Since that match, the women’s team has not played any official matches.

A double clash against the Ecuadorian team, scheduled for May 31 and June 4, was postponed by the Ecuadorian authorities. The FHF did not take preventive measures to find alternative solutions, leaving players and fans in uncertainty. This situation highlights ineffective management and a lack of will on the part of the federation’s leaders.

Consequences for the Players

The Haitian national team players are young, talented and ambitious. However, the lack of competitions and structural support hinders their progress and exposure on the international stage. This situation disadvantages not only the players, but also the hopes of Haitian fans who see in this generation a chance to shine.

The future of the Haitian women’s football team seems uncertain due to the current management of the FHF. For these young talents to realize their potential and proudly represent Haiti on the international stage, a significant change in the management of the federation is necessary. It is crucial that the sports authorities take steps to actively support the Grenadières and provide them with the opportunities they deserve. Only a serious commitment and a well-defined strategy will allow this promising team to overcome the current obstacles and establish itself among the best teams in the world.
