In a series of recent developments in Haiti, significant events across sports, international policy, and leadership have captured national attention. On October 18, 2025, the U-17 Grenadiers football team faced an unexpected setback as striker Djuny Junior Théodore abruptly left their Spanish training camp ahead of the U-17 World Cup in Qatar. Théodore cited a promised contract from his uncle as the reason for his departure, vowing to continue his football career. The Haitian Football Federation (FHF) has yet to issue an official statement, but a complaint has reportedly been filed with Barcelona police. If confirmed as a withdrawal, this could lead to disciplinary or financial repercussions under FIFA regulations. Meanwhile, the United Nations Security Council unanimously adopted Resolution 2794, extending sanctions on individuals and entities threatening Haiti’s peace and security until 2026. These measures include arms embargoes, asset freezes, and travel bans. In the realm of sports, the University of Technology of Haiti (UNITECH) triumphed over the American University of Modern Sciences of Haiti (UNASMOH) in a thrilling 61-59 basketball match during the Inter-university Tournament for Peace. Gabriel Marc Roosevelt was named MVP for the second consecutive time, scoring 16 points. On the leadership front, significant appointments were made across various institutions. Angeline Cherfils was installed as the new head of the National Office of Crafts (ONART), bringing her expertise in education and activism to the role. Additionally, Lyonel Labady returned as Administrative Director of the Office of the Secretary of State for the Integration of People with Disabilities (BSEIPH), aiming to enhance operational efficiency and inclusive governance. These developments underscore Haiti’s ongoing efforts to address challenges and foster progress across multiple sectors.
