AUSTIN, TX -- At about 5 p.m. on January 12, the nation of Haiti shook to its very core – literally. A 7.0 magnitude earthquake rocked the island nation, decimating it and all its inhabitants.

Victimized along with the loss of more than 230,000 people and three million displaced residents was the Haitian Football Association, whose building collapsed in the quake, killing 32 of its members – including two coaches.

Since then, the Haitian Men’s National Team has been searching for a permanent home as thousands of Haiti’s residents are living in their stadium and on their pitch. For two weeks, Central Texas serves to fill that void.

Through a church group connection, the Haitian National Team finds themselves in Texas for training and a series of friendly matches.

At 7:30 p.m. on April 28, House Park and the Aztex play host to the squad.
