Haitian police announced in a statement that they, together with a private security force, have taken full control of the Stade Sylvio Cator football stadium.
The stadium is now guarded by military personnel from El Salvador.
In 2024, the stadium, which has a capacity of around 10,000 spectators, fell into the hands of criminal gangs that control parts of Haiti, the poorest country in Latin America and the Caribbean.
The violence in Haiti has forced the national team to play its World Cup qualifying matches on the island of Curaçao instead of at home.
Haiti participated in this summer’s World Cup finals in the United States, but was forced to leave the tournament after three straight losses in the group stage.
