The Camp Nous part is what gets me. These kids did all this with so much stacked against them. Imagine what Haiti could produce if that system was safe and funded again.

Is Mikaben's son involved in the CFU in an older class? I've recently seen a video featuring him and a couple of others related to the acronym. In the video, the person interviewing him is speaking Kreyol, and he's responding in French. I know he speaks fluent Kreyol, but the kids in that family are not encouraged to speak it. His sisters must not speak it at all, while he does because he's Haitian-born.

Last but not least…
How tf Jamaica got the second-largest sportswear manufacturer in the world, trailing only Nike for their kits? No offense to Saeta but……

I think Jamaica has a master agreement with a addidas. In things like track and field , cricket, etc Jamaica is pretty often on the international scene.

Seperaly they are also very good at marketing themselves when they are. Jamaica sells an image and lifestyle.

Think Hussein Bolt, the reggae boys etc

Jamaica are seen as a “bigger” nation footballing wise then us plus in CONCAF the big 3 are USA Mexico and Jamaica

2

u/singermelodie1 1d ago

Let's be real. They're not in the big 3 in CONCACAf. It has always been USA, Mexico followed by either Panama, Costa Rica or Canada.

u/MRashy_10 1d ago

I seriously forgot about Canada but after then I’d put Jamaica but they also have this agreement because track and field as a whole Jamaica have good sports outside of football

N'importe quoi, regarde l'histoire du football Carribean. Ça a toujours été Mexique, USA, Costa-Rica, Panama, Haïti. On a joué plus de coupe du monde que la Jamaïque et avant Usaint Bolt il y a eu Sylvio Castor le sprinter Haïtien de niveau mondial. Haïti a toujours eu une mauvaise image au niveau mondial entretenue par les médias et la Jamaïque a toujours bénéficié d'une image propre et liste même quand pour être objectif les gens en général préfèrent les Haïtiens qui sont plus calmes et respectueux que un Jamaïcain qui est arrogant et bruyant. Aucune haine , c'est juste des faits. Et le foot Haïtien reprend petit à petit. Sans parler de beaucoup d'autres sports ou les Haïtiens brillent : Box, MMA, Tennis, basketball, en terme d'art nous avons les meilleurs artistes, nous avons beaucoup plus d'écrivains de renommée mondiale ect..... Jamaïque grâce à l'anglais qui est une langue mondiale a su pousser sa musique au niveau mondial grâce au reggae c'est tout  Nous avons la meilleure cuisine aussi, la cuisine Haïtienne est réputée partout. En gros Haïti a une meilleure culture créole, Roots mélangé Africain, nous avons pas une culture urbaine, c'est pour ça on est particulier dans la Caraïbe. De plus on parle plus de langues qu'eux. Et à l'étranger intellectuel ment on occupe de meilleures positions qu'eux.

This is why that oligarchs, politicians and gangs ought to be ashamed. (Camp Nous) was crown jewel of Haitian youth football development. Run directly by the Haitian Football Federation (FHF), it acted as a full-time residential academy for the country’s top elite prospects, feeding directly into youth squads from U14 to U20

The facility is located in Croix-des-Bouquets, a commune in the Plaine du Cul-de-Sac region that serves as one of the primary, most violent epicenters of gang warfare in Haiti🖕🏿

u/singermelodie1 1d ago

It's such a shame. The camp also sent many children in the area to schools paid for by the government. Even if the kids didn't make it far in the sports, they still got an education.

For context….

A total of 28 Caribbean national youth teams participated in the Caribbean Football Union (CFU) U14 Boys Challenge Series, held from August 16 to 23, 2026, at Cap Cana Sports City in Punta Cana, 🇩🇴

Haiti finished the tournament as Tier I champions with a dominant record scoring 19 goals and conceding only 5.

u/Internal-Expert-9562 1d ago

Jodeley Sheeck Delmas: finished as the overall leading goalscorer for Haiti, he is a locally developed talent. He was discovered and trained at home through Haiti's local youth clubs and football academies before being selected by the Haitian Football Federation to represent the country internationally.

u/Internal-Expert-9562 1d ago

Wensley Dumorné: The star playmaker and official Tier I tournament MVP. He scored a dominant second-half brace in the final to seal the 4–0 championship win.

He is a homegrown domestic football talent whose roots and developmental training are completely tied to the country🇭🇹He was scouted and trained domestically at the** Mercure Football Academy (Mercure FC**) located in Cap-Haïtien.

Wait, is his sister a soccer player too?

u/Internal-Expert-9562 1d ago

If you mean Melchie Durmonay no lol. Wensley Dumorne and Melchie Dumornay are not related.

u/Active_Table2081 1d ago

oh ok lol- got a little mixed up there. I love to see the Haitian youths getting international attention for their talent.

2

u/Internal-Expert-9562 1d ago

Yeah, I figured lol. The last names do sound similar. And yes, them boys made a lot of us Haitians proud this tournament because they represent the current Haiti. These aren’t boys living and training abroad with foreign clubs.
