Saturday February 26, 2022, as part of the qualifiers for the U-20 Women's World Cup to be held in August 2022 in Costa Rica, our Grenadières faced the Caribbean lionesses (Cuba) on the lawn of the Pan American Stadium in San Cristobal in the Republic Dominican

A match won by Haiti [2-1} not without difficulty. It's Valentina Ornis who opens the scoring for Haiti at 30' [1-0]. 11 minutes later, Rose-Alaya Marcellu sinks the score at 41' [2-0]b

Upon returning from the locker room our grenadiers were aggressive but despite their efforts and many shots on target, none managed to thwart the incredible Cuban goalkeeper Elika Acea who intercepted less than ten shots.
