Haiti vs. Jamaica for May 23 friendly in US Sean Williams Friday, April 17, 2009 The Reggae Boyz will tackle Caribbean rivals Haiti in a friendly international in Fort Lauderdale, USA, on Saturday, May 23, it was announced yesterday. JFF boss Captain Horace Burrell made the disclosure at the Sherwin Williams Women's Football Awards Presentation at the Federation's New Kingston offices a day after confirming a home game for the senior team against Panama on June 7. "The senior Reggae boyz team will play against Haiti in Fort Lauderdale and we expect it to be a massive game because the people of Haiti will be celebrating a special holiday period (Compas Month)," Burrell said. Organiser of the game, Jeremy Mullings, said he expects a large crowd for the game as the USA will be celebrating Memorial Weekend which falls in line with the May month of celebrations for south Florida's Haitians. This is also a time when the rest of the Caribbean Diaspora swings into party mode. "We are hoping for a sell-out crowd at Lockhart Stadium with all that will be happening on that weekend, and we are getting a good vibe about the event already... and as you know whenever Jamaica play Haiti, it brings out the best in both," said Mullings from Florida yesterday. Jamaica may not have their strongest team for the encounter as the game will not be played on a FIFA-sanctioned date, but Burrell promised that "we will have all our available overseas-based players". The CONCACAF Executive Committee member noted that the match provides an opportunity "for the best local players in the Premier League" to perform for coach John Barnes and his team. Burrell and his team have been finding it difficult to get top-class opposition for the Reggae Boyz - their efforts thwarthed by the team's 70th placing on the FIFA standings and elimination from the World Cup qualifying race. "It's not easy to get worthy opponents now as they're engaged in World Cup qualifiers and... are playing those games on FIFA calendar dates, plus we're not attractive to them because we're not in the World Cup mix," Burrell said on Wednesday in announcing the Panama contest. The Burrell administration was busy these past weeks deflecting media flak for the Boyz's inactivity on the last two FIFA calendar dates of March 28 and April 1. For the March date, the JFF was in fact in advanced negotiations for a match against Oman in Muscat, but the Gulf state decided late to play South Africa instead. The senior team's last friendly international was played on the first FIFA date of the year, February 11 in London, when they played to an entertaining 0-0 tie with Nigeria's Super Eagles. The matches between Haiti and Panama will provide the Reggae Boyz with their final tune-up ahead of the CONCACAF Gold Cup which runs from July 3-26 in 13 US cities. Haiti, like Jamaica, are out of World Cup contention but will join their Caribbean neighbours in the Gold Cup. Ranked a modest 119 by FIFA, Haiti will contest Group B alongside the USA, Honduras and Digicel Caribbean Championships runners-up Grenada. Jamaica, who won the regional championships, will compete in Group A alongside Canada, Costa Rica and El Salvador, while Panama contest Group C with Guadeloupe, Mexico and Nicaragua.

Lesly Fellinga Football Interview with Le Matin Haiti:"I am very disappointed" (Translated from with Google) Adopted by a Dutch couple at a young age. Spotted via the Internet by FHF always looking for talent of Haitian origin in the world, Lesly Fellinga plays Selection for three years. He played every game in preparation for the Gold Cup with the national team, but no meeting has been relegated to the bench by an amazing Frantz Gilles. Frustrated, now under contract with the Toronto club, he agreed to answer our questions. Gerald Bordes (GB): Before the Gold Cup, you play every game preparation with the national team, but during the four tournament games you have not been established. What has happened? Were you hurt? Lesly Fellinga (LF) : No, I was not injured. I can not explain what happened. During the preparation period, I played all the friendly matches and I felt to be important for the team. I have even had discussions with the coach on the team. Against the Montreal Impact, Mr. Rindone put me at rest, and Frantz Gilles played his first friendly match. I never thought the coach would make that decision just from this game. I was very disappointed, I felt bad and I was very unhappy with this situation I was not expecting. GB: Even if you've never been the starting lineup, are you satisfied with the performance of the Haitian team? What are you blaming the coaching staff? LF: The team made a good run in the first round, although I regret that we could not win the game against the United States. The duel against Mexico was a big disappointment. Before the game, we were told how to play. But this has not been properly implemented on the ground. I do not think it wise to say if I blame the coach and if I blame something. If I answer this part of the question, I would not feel comfortable vis-à-vis Gilles. Let's say I was very dissatisfied with my situation and I think I could help the team in this difficult situation. GB: Fellinga Will you always available to the national team? LF: I do not know. Obviously I lost faith in this coach. In my talk with him after the first match (against Honduras), he told me I'm still the number one position but chose Gilles for his experience. It is very difficult to accept this argument. Because I already played as many games with the national team in Haiti. And I think I also have experience. GB: You play with shoes red and white, where it says: "Lesly goumen ap pou Ayiti. Why this slogan? you also speak Creole? LF: I put this slogan on my shoes because I am very proud to play for the national team and for the people of Haiti. I love Haiti. And I wanted to do my best for the national team but the coach did not give me this chance. And to tell the truth, my Creole is terrible. I can now say a few words and phrases. So I can not speak as I wish. GB: You are an adopted son, did you look for your family in Haiti? LF: Yes. I know nothing of my birth mother and other relatives in Haiti. I have no names or information. Gerald Bordes: You were in Europe and you have even participated with Netherlands club SC Heerenveen in the UEFA Cup. Today, you are no longer part of this team. You move in Toronto FC Major League Soccer (MLS). Why the change? How long is your contract? What it has cost Toronto FC you have? Lesly Fellinga: My contract with SC Heerenveen is ended. So I was looking for a new club. In the Netherlands, I had some contacts. But several MLS clubs interested in me. They came to see me play at the Gold Cup. The coach knew, I informed him. Then you understand why I am even more disappointed at not having played for ten minutes.After a brief attempt at Toronto FC, I joined this club. Is a good professional club. I had a very warm welcome to the club. I will not use it to secure a contract in Europe. I am currently conducting an adventure. I have a contract for four months (until the end of this season) with an option for three more years. In the end we will see if it can continue. I'm sorry. J Can not you disclose the amount of my salary. This response should not be in the interview. I am very happy to answer your questions. Source: LeMatinHaiti

Ghana instead of Haiti against Argentina Sunday, 20 September 2009 We dreamed of seeing Pierre Richard Bruny rubbing Lionel Messi five years after crossing Ronaldo and Ronaldinho at the Stade Sylvio Cator, history to finish his career in triumph, but the cases were decided differently. The match that should oppose the Haitian national team football to its counterpart in Argentina will not take place: about money. The meeting should oppose the "Albiceleste" and the "Grenadiers" Monumental in Buenos Aires, September 30 next, will not take place.

Match Léopards locaux-Diables Rouges annulé Le derby Léopards locaux-Diables rouges prévu ce dimanche vient d’être annulé alors que la République démocratique du Congo recevra la république d’Haïti samedi 14 novembre en match amical international. Le match amical international qui devait opposer les Léopards seniors locaux de la Rdc à leurs homologues de Diables Rouges du Congo Brazzaville ce dimanche 8 novembre 2009 au Stade des Martyrs n’aura plus lieu. La Fédération Congolaise de Football (Fécofoot ) a demandé l’ajournement de ce match. Elle avance comme raison, ne pas être en mesure de boucler le circuit de déblocage de fonds en temps voulu dans une correspondance du 29 novembre 2009. La Fécofoot dit continuer à être attaché à ce match test indispensable pour leur équipe nationale qui affrontera la Guinée Equatoriale le 29 novembre prochain. C’est avec beaucoup de peine, que la Fécofoot a fait part de l’ajournement de ce match à son homologue de la Rdc. Elle demande même à la Fécofa de ne pas lui tenir rigueur pour ce désagrément. Les Léopards seniors locaux reçoivent plutôt les haïtiens le samedi 14 novembre prochain D’après M. Grégoire Ediba Elonga, secrétaire général de la Fécofa, les Léopards seniors locaux recevront l’équipe nationale d’Haïti le 14 novembre prochain au Stade des Martyrs, en match amical internationale. http://www.leopardsfoot.com/phpBB/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=4460
Finalement on en sait plus ou est ce que l'on en est. Le journal du Groupe L"Avenir annonce que le match contre Haiti est annule et annonce les leopards locaux en match amical contre l'Angola le 14 Nov, alors que l'on sait tous qu'ils affrontent le Congo Brazza, alors qui dit vrai? Si cela se confirme, mauvais debut pour Mr Eugene Diomi. Le match qui devait les opposer à l’équipe Haïtienne est, une fois de plus, annulé http://www.leopardsfoot.com/phpBB/v...sid=02dca90e8cd7641e0601f89d74fedd25&start=20
