Haiti Weighs Modern FIFA-Standard Stadium in Les Cayes
Youth and Sports Minister Pythagore Dumas inspected Parc Larco as the government explores building a modern football stadium in the South.
On Saturday, October 10, 2026, Minister of Youth and Sports (MJSAC) Pythagore Dumas, accompanied by Director General Wilfince Mombrun, conducted a second inspection visit to Parc Larco in Les Cayes, in Haiti's South Department, according to icihaiti.com. The visit is part of the government's effort to assess building a football stadium meeting FIFA standards, which would allow the men's and women's national teams, the Grenadiers and Grenadières, to host their home matches domestically. Dumas said Prime Minister Fils-Aimé is deeply involved in resolving a land dispute that has hindered the park's operation for over a decade. The minister announced that MJSAC sports infrastructure experts would soon conduct a feasibility study and consider launching the project in the near future. Officials said the plan envisions not merely a renovation but potentially the construction of a modern stadium in the South. Berthin Bazelais, the MJSAC Departmental Director for the South, expressed enthusiasm for the project, calling it a major step forward for football development. The MJSAC has also committed to rehabilitating six sports parks nationwide, the outlet reported.
