Tuesday at the National Palace, President Jovenel Moïse received 3 Grenadiers of the national selection including Duckens Nazon aka "Le Duck" https://www.haitilibre.com/en/news-28183-haiti-gold-cup-2019-the-country-jubilant-le-duck-in-haiti-for-4-days.html who proudly and brilliantly defended the Haitian flag during the Gold Cup.

The Head of State, ardent supporter of the Grenadiers has not wavered delights for our heroes of the modern stage by paying a well-deserved tribute to their performance during this 2019 Gold Cup that led them to semi-final, a first for Haiti in this competition, before their unfair elimination against Mexico on a questionable penalty decided by the referee of Qatar https://www.haitilibre.com/en/news-28137-haiti-gold-cup-2019-haiti-eliminated-in-semi-final-by-mexico-[0-1]-on-a-questionable-penalty.html

"The exploits achieved by the Grenadiers during the Gold Cup finals, despite difficult preparation conditions, prove that we Haitians are capable of great things when we join forces, and especially, when we pursue a common goal. This proof of unity must serve as a compass for all compatriots, wherever they are, to work, in a spirit of brotherhood and active solidarity, to finally get the country out of the rut of underdevelopment, which will undoubtedly lead us to build a more stable and more egalitarian society," said the President

The Head of State invited the Haitian youth to take our Grenadiers as an example of unity and solidarity, expressing the wish that our national team will participate in the 2022 World Cup to be held in Qatar.

"It would be a nice response to the Qatari referee who favored the victory of the Mexican team to the detriment of the Grenadiers in the gold Cup semi-final," added Duckens Nazon, who promises with his team-mates to do everything to make this dream a reality.
