297 is not a lot

While the shuffle sends Haiti within their opponents’ borders, they couldn’t have found a more hospitable home away from home. Miami boasts by far the largest population of Haitians and their descendants in the US, with nearly half a million concentrated predominantly in south Florida. They will play at Nu Stadium, where they played the venue’s first international friendly – a pre-World Cup clash with Peru – in June before a sold-out crowd of 26,700. That support dwarfed the crowds they drew at Sabina Park, where their two matches attracted an average of 297 fans.
