Volleyball Thrives in Haiti: Regional Tournaments
Unite Hundreds of Youth Despite National Challenges
PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti, June 3, 2025.- The Haitian Volleyball
Federation has been in full activity organizing successful
tournaments, thanks to the tireless efforts and remarkable
dedication by regional organizers.
In parts of the Northern Department, school tournaments began as
early as December 2024. In 2025, hundreds of students continued to
play volleyball, with championships held in Cap-Haïtien,
Ouanaminthe, Hinche, Port-Margot, La Jeune, Mombin-Crochu, Pignon,
and Saint-Marc.
Concurrently, the regular First Division tournaments were
successfully held by the Ouanaminthe League, while the League in the
West tournaments are currently in its final phase. These two major
championships welcomed 20 clubs, with a total of approximately 300
athletes.
“I am proud that the Haitian Volleyball Federation has been able to
stay the course and ensure that volleyball courts continue to be
places of joy and performance for athletes during these challenging
times. We recognize the many sacrifices made by both parents and
athletes to keep volleyball alive across the country, bringing
energy, unity, and hope to a population striving for stability.”
said Jean Michel Frédéric François, President of the Haitian
Volleyball Federation.
“Special thanks to all the regional leaders for their perseverance,
all the institutions that championed us, and especially NORCECA for
their continuous support. Seeing our youth smile, play, and push
themselves beyond their limits, despite the circumstances, is the
greatest triumph for Haitian sports,” concluded Mr. François. |
