"We know Miami has a large community of both Colombian and Haitian soccer fans and are pleased to bring this exciting match to them," said founder and CEO of CMN, Henry Cárdenas.

The upcoming match is an exciting opportunity for soccer fans to see these two teams go head to head in the only game in Miami before the Copa America Centenario 2016 tournament in June.

The game will feature some of the federation’s top players from both teams including James Rodriguez, Juan Cuadrado, Carlos Bacca and David Ospina for Colombia as they prepare to celebrate Conmebol’s (The South American Football Confederation) 100 year anniversary and Haiti’s team will come full force with key players such as Mechack Jerome, Johny Placide, Jeff Louis, Donald Guerrier and Kervens Fils Belfort.
