Football presents itself as a meritocracy where talent determines success. However, debates about identity and legitimacy often arise when unexpected teams succeed, challenging long-standing expectations about belonging.

This past June, our team traveled to Haiti's North and Northeast Departments to meet with schools, NGOs, and community leaders working on the frontlines of education and youth development. The purpose of this visit was twofold: to evaluate potential partners for collaboration with our project L'Ouverture Academy, and to deepen our understanding of the opportunities that exist in a region often overlooked in national and international conversations.
