Stade Sylvio Cator
The ground took the January 2010 earthquake badly, and the pitch and grounds around it filled with tents for residents who had lost their homes. Reconstruction followed with FIFA money, and the stadium came back into use as a football venue.
The rebuilding continued through the decade. In 2019 a modernisation paid for by $283,000 from FIFA's Forward programme, and carried out by the Taiwanese firm OECC, replaced the playing surface with an Edel Grass "Edel Flashblade" system certified to FIFA Quality Pro, and reworked the changing rooms to bring them up to CONCACAF standards.
The name arrived after the ground did. It opened as Parc Leconte, became Stade Paul-Magloire, and was renamed for Sylvio Cator, the long jumper who took Olympic silver in 1928 and also played football. The Fédération Haïtienne de Football owns it.
Its biggest nights are decades apart. Haiti won the 1973 CONCACAF Championship final here. In 1991 the final of the CONCACAF Women's Championship, between the United States and Canada, drew more than 30,000.
It has also been used for occasions that had nothing to do with sport: the state funerals of the journalist Jean Léopold Dominique in 2000 and of the footballer Mano Sanon in 2008.
The Haiti national team plays here, and so do Racing Club Haïtien, Violette AC, Victory SC and AS Carrefour.
