Haitian Amputee Soccer team heads to their second World Cup in Mexico!






The Haitian Amputee Soccer team is currently in the US training to participate in the Bi-annual Amputee World Cup.

They will be in Mexico this Friday, November 28th. Their first game will be against Germany on Nov. 30th. Then they will play Kenya and Russia. They will fly back to Dallas on December 9th and then get back to Haiti on December 15th.

After they arrive back in Haiti, they plan to tour in the provinces with some other players and finish with an exhibition match in Port-au-Prince January 12 which will be the 5th anniversary of the earthquake.

However, without the generous contribution of time by one of our Ambassadors Football alumni, Elysee, they would not have made it out of Haiti. Elysee spent 2 days solid working on the internet I the Ambassadors Football Haiti office.to complete all the Visa applications that had to be done. He also took pictures of all the players and meticulously sized them to meet the Visa requirements. His hard work was rewarded by all of the players and coaches getting 5 year visas!

Thank you Elysee!

There are many Christians on the Amputee team, and they still will sing Christian favorites like Amazing Grace whenever they get the opportunity. This tradition started when I was preparing them for their first World Cup in Argentina. I told them that just like Soccer is an international sport, Music is an international art form and rehearsed with them so they could sing at teams dinners and other public occasions. This tradition has endeared the team to many!
