This week, the Haitian Football Federation (FHF) issued a press release announcing that Haiti’s U-14 boys’ and U-15 girls’ national teams will not participate in the Concacaf youth tournaments scheduled for August 2025 in Costa Rica and Trinidad & Tobago.

To explain this unfortunate news, the Federation listed the reasons that led Haitian officials to withdraw from the tournaments. None of the reasons for this withdrawal are related to sports.
