National Championship D1: Historic First Final for Juventus des Cayes, AS Capoise Also Makes It!

This Wednesday marked a decisive turning point in this special edition of the national first division championship. Juventus des Cayes and AS Capoise secured their tickets to the grand final, scheduled for May 31 at Parc Saint Victor, after respective victories against Don Bosco FC (2-0) and FICA (3-1 on penalties).

This is a historic moment for Juventus des Cayes! Founded in 2006, the southern team qualifies for the first time in its history for a playoff final in the elite of Haitian football. Against Don Bosco FC, the Cayens quickly took the lead with a goal from Philipo Ronaldo (28th minute), before Jachaziel Séraphin sealed the victory at the hour mark. A memorable performance for the club and its supporters.

In the other semi-final, AS Capoise once again proved its ability to handle big occasions. Facing FICA in a tense playoff match to decide the North group, the 'Vieux Coq Capois' (Old Capois Rooster) kept its composure. After a goalless draw (0-0) at the end of regular time, the 'yellow and black' triumphed in the penalty shootout (3-1). Another final for Dunel Blaise's teammates, who are determined to add a new trophy to their record.

Note: the champion of this final will represent Haiti in the Caribbean Cup, while the runner-up will compete in the Caribbean Shield. Furthermore, in another match of the day, Violette AC won 2-0 against América des Cayes.

See you on May 31 for a final that promises to be electric!
