The Story in 60 Seconds

Concacaf has approved Haiti's request to move their Nations League quarter-final first leg against the United States to Miami. The fixture, scheduled for November 14, will be held at Nu Stadium under an exceptional hosting arrangement instead of Kingston, Jamaica. Haiti have been unable to play home matches within their country since July 2021 due to severe gang violence in Port-au-Prince.

Miami holds the largest Haitian population in the United States, offering strong local support for the Caribbean nation. The second leg of the quarter-final tie will take place on November 17 at TQL Stadium in Cincinnati. Concacaf confirmed that this venue flexibility will remain active as long as Haiti's ongoing security crisis persists.
