Thursday, June 23, as part of the Confederation of North America, Central America and the Caribbean (CONCACAF) playoffs [June 18 to July 3] counting for the Men's U-20 World Cup Indonesia 2023 and also for the 2024 Paris Olympics, our Grenadiers U-20 under the direction of Haitian coach Angelo Jean Baptiste, on the lawn of the Stade Olymique Metropolitain stadium (instead of the "General Francisco Morazán" stadium, which has become impassable due to rain), faced "El tricolor" from Mexico.

Although the Mexicans 1st in Group F with 2 wins, 13 goals scored in 2 games and zero goals conceded gave them the favorite of this meeting, the Tricolors came up against the Grenadiers 2nd in Group F, combative opponents not so easy to dominate.

Despite all the efforts, the two teams did no better than neutralize each other [0-0]...

#12 Augustin Willemson: Storm FC (Haiti)

With this zero score, our Young Grenadiers reach the second round (8th final) having resisted against Mexico, ranking among the best.
