PORT-AU-PRINCE — Haiti’s national amputee soccer team has qualified for the 14th edition of the World Amputee Soccer Championship set to take place in Turkey in October.
The draw for countries took place in Istanbul, Turkey on July 30. The 24 teams selected are divided into six groups of four between October 1 and 9. Haiti is in Group A.
