Nations League: Haiti to Play Home Leg Against the United States in Miami
Also available in: Français
The Grenadiers will play their home leg of the Concacaf Nations League quarterfinal against the United States in Miami. Concacaf approved a special hosting arrangement because of the security situation in Haiti.
The Concacaf Council authorized the measure following a formal request from the Haitian Football Federation (FHF). Originally scheduled for Saturday, November 14, at Sabina Park in Kingston, Jamaica, the match will instead be played at Nu Stadium in Miami, Florida, Concacaf confirmed in a statement released Thursday.
Under the arrangement, the FHF may play its home matches in Concacaf-sanctioned competitions in its opponents’ territory, whereas current regulations require them to be played in the Caribbean region. This flexibility will remain in place for as long as the security crisis in Haiti lasts.
The return leg will be played on Tuesday, November 17, at 7 p.m. at TQL Stadium in Cincinnati, Ohio. The date and kickoff time are unchanged.
