New York City FC’s Danielle Etienne made history with Haiti U-20s this weekend.
The NYCFC U-19s midfielder played the 90’ as Haiti overcame Canada 1-0 in the CONCACAF U-20 Championships third place game to book their place in this summer’s U-20 World Cup in France.
In doing so, Haiti became the first Caribbean team to ever qualify for a Women’s U-20 World Cup tournament.
Etienne’s side were unfortunate not to be contesting the final against Mexico after they were knocked out on penalties by the U.S. in the semifinals but they will look back on the tournament with pride after this victory over Canada.
