Digicel, From Traditions to Innovations

"Ever since Digicel and the Haitian football federation (FHF) have officially announced their partnership, Haitian football has taken a new direction.

Knowing that financial aid would not be sufficient in order to boost the Haitian football, lots of exiting entertainment for the matches have been scheduled.

Hundreds of football fans who came to the match opposing the Racing Club Haitien to the Don Bosco will never forget that afternoon. Not only the players showed lots of performance in their game, but the public highly praised the new features of the championship. The most emotional moment was the ritual of the flag, even the usual spectators of the stadium couldn’t remember when was the last time it occurred. The surprise of the day was the participation of the famous DJ Fanfan who kept the spirit up in the stadium, following that, groups like X-Men, Poly Dance and Data dance entertained the crowd during the breaks."



"By coming back with Haitian tradition, Digicel has proven on the week end of March 31/April 2nd 2006, that football in Haiti is taking a new turn."

Quick question: does Eagle Noir have some sort of Spanish connection or Spanish-speaking connection?
I ask because on the HaitiFoot website, under the Haiti league champions, they have them listed as both Eagle Noir and Aguila Negra.
Thanks in advance for any info!

well that makes sense because Haiti has much stronger ties with countries like Dominican Republic and Cuba then they do with most of the English speaking countries. In Haiti, you'll find some people that know Spanish as their third language, after Creole and French.

Haitian Under-21 International Jean Baptiste Fritzson made a superb header in the 16th minute to lead Aigle Noir to a 1-0 win over Victory last saturday. They'll be a team to watch in the upcoming Caribbean qualification tournament for the 2007 CONCACAF Champions' Cup.

Aigle Noir next travels to Cap-Haitien to battle Zenith at Parc Saint Victor.

Baltimore SC continues to struggle while this season is still in its beginning phase. They have only 1 point in their first 3 matches and have yet to score a goal this season. A late goal by Pierre Edwing (82') gave Tempête FC a stunning road win in front of a shocked Parc Levelt crowd last saturday in St. Marc. Baltimore SC meets up with Dynamite FC next in Parc Levelt.
