A Haitian team in the Champions League!
Last night Tempête FC became the first Haitian side to qualify for the CONCACAF Champions League after defeating Trinidad's Defence Force on penalties in a CFU Club Championship semifinal. The match ended goalless but Tempête won the penalty shootout 4-2. This is very positive news for Haitian football a year and a half after the catastrophic Haitian earthquake, and if the Haitian federation can find a stadium in the country that meets CONCACAF standards, they will play either Isidro Metapán or Morelia in the preliminary round.
