To beat Saint-Vincent first on July 2, then Bermuda or Barbados on July 6 in two-phase play-offs for a place in the final phase of the Gold Cup, this is the last illusion allowed for the Haitian national team of football after his elimination at the gates of the final octagonal counting for the qualifiers for the Qatar 2022 World Cup in the Concacaf zone on June 15 in Chicago.
Aware of the importance of these dams for a whole nation thirsty to see its representatives repeat their 2019 route in the final phase of the Gold Cup, the national coach, Jean-Jacques Pierre, had communicated a pre-list of sixty players from whom he should draw the 23 to contest this competition.
On Monday, the national coach halved his first pre-list and now, thirty players are on the pre-list of players selected to face Saint Vincent and the Grenadines on July 2 at Drive Pink Stadium in Fort Lauderdale, Florida and in case of victory Haiti will have to face the winner of the match between Bermuda and Barbados on July 6 at the same stadium for a place in the final phase.
The thirty of Pierre Jean-Jacques
4 goalkeepers, 9 defenders, 8 midfielders and 9 attackers are part of this new pre-list which will miss the captain of the national team, Johny Placide, retained by his club requirements. If the absence of young Angelot Exilus or the presence of some other players with a certain poor form during their last performance in the selection astonish observers, the fact remains that the former captain of FC Nantes maintains his confidence in the players whose names follow :
Guardians:
Josué Duverger (Vitoria Setubal, Portugal)
Alan Jérôme (Don Bosco)
Isaac Rouaud (J3 Amilly, France)
Andy Bordenave (Real Hope FA)
Defenders:
Carlens Arcus (AJ Auxerre, France)
Stéphane Lambèse (US Orléans, France)

Dutherson Clerveaux (Cavaly)
Steeven Saba (Violet)
Zachary Herivaux (Birmingham Legion, USA)
Roberto Baggio Louima (Violette)
Leverton Pierre (USL Dunkirk, France)
Elyvens Dejean (Don Bosco FC)
Attackers:
Carnejy Antoine (US Orleans, France)
Hervé Bazile (Le Havre, France)

Pierre Jean-Jacques’ players will therefore have to play two knockout matches to get a place in the finals.
