Haiti participates from July 20 to August 5, 2018 in the 23rd Central American and Caribbean Games held in Barranquilla, Colombia, in 8 disciplines: football, basketball 3x3, athletics, table tennis, swimming, weightlifting, judo and beach volleyball.

Régine Lamur, the resigning Minister of Youth, regrets that the National Women's Olympic Football Selection could not take part in this competition https://www.icihaiti.com/en/news-24500-icihaiti-france-2018-350-000-dollars-for-the-preparation-of-our-grenadieres.html making a blow to our young Grenadières who worked hard and sacrificed themselves to represent the country and defend the national colors at these important regional games.

Minister Lamur, wishes brilliant performances to our athletes and expresses the wish to see them brandishing our two-color high.
