In a spectacular display of offensive prowess, Haiti’s U-17 women’s national soccer team commenced their FIFA U-17 World Cup qualifying campaign with an emphatic 6-1 triumph over Antigua and Barbuda on January 25, 2026. The match, held at FFK Stadium in Willemstad, Curaçao, showcased Haiti’s technical superiority and strategic coordination from the opening whistle.
Under the guidance of Coach Frenoy Baptiste, the Haitian squad demonstrated remarkable attacking efficiency throughout the contest. The scoring commenced in the 19th minute when forward Keisha Gue capitalized on a corner opportunity, directing a precise close-range shot into the bottom right corner. Just three minutes later, Kerdina Lamour doubled Haiti’s advantage with a well-placed right-footed strike from the left side of the penalty area.
Gue secured her brace in the 30th minute with another clinical finish, establishing a commanding 3-0 lead that persisted through halftime. The second half witnessed continued dominance as Kyrah Lormil extended the margin to 4-0 in the 53rd minute, benefitting from Gue’s assist. Adjani Kamanzi-Mondestin, entering as a substitute, netted Haiti’s fifth goal in the 65th minute with an impressive right-footed shot into the top right corner.
Despite conceding a consolation goal to Antigua and Barbuda’s Keitonya Skepple in the 79th minute, Haiti maintained offensive pressure, with Lamour completing her double in the 86th minute to finalize the 6-1 scoreline. The comprehensive victory positions Haiti favorably in their qualification group, tied with Guatemala on three points but leading on goal differential.
The team’s multinational composition, featuring players from clubs in Haiti, the United States, Canada, Scotland, and Puerto Rico, demonstrated effective integration and collective understanding on the pitch. Haiti’s next qualification matches will see them face Saint Lucia on January 27, followed by encounters with the Cayman Islands and Guatemala, as they pursue qualification for the tournament scheduled in Morocco.
