Dominican Republic: President Abinader supports the ban on Haitian matches following the incidents at the Félix Sánchez stadium
World2 sources2 countries🔦 Under-reported33m ago
Following a 4-1 victory by Haiti over the Dominican Republic in a Concacaf Nations League match at the Estadio Olímpico Félix Sánchez, the Dominican Republic government has prohibited the Haitian national team from playing in Dominican stadiums. The decision, announced on Friday by Minister of Sports Kelvin Cruz, is a direct consequence of disorder that occurred Thursday night in the stadium's access areas prior to the game.
The match itself resulted in a bitter defeat for the Dominican squad, with Dorny Romero scoring the team's sole goal, a result that leaves the Dominican Republic with virtually no chances of advancing to the quarterfinals of the tournament.
