Whereas most of the teams participating in the Amputee World Cup have been training on nice regulation fields for months if not years, Haiti’s National Amputee soccer team has not yet practiced on a proper field. Amputee soccer is played with six one-legged players and a one-armed goalie with 2 legs.
Today it took us 4 hours to properly line the field so that we can begin to practice on it Saturday. In addition, it took me 2 hours last week to purchase the proper sized goals and these will also be put into place on Saturday morning.
We are also praying that a Haitian TV show will film us on Saturday giving us valuable publicity at a time the team most needs it.
On Saturday afternoon, Radio Caraibe will interview Pierre Bruny, the captain of the men’s Haitian National Team (11 a side), who is also the president of the Amputee Soccer Association.
Thanks for your continued prayer for the team!
