Haiti is not among the favorites for the CONCACAF Gold Cup, but coach Marc Collat believes otherwise ahead of its opener against Panama.
Marc Collat has told Haiti to prove its ability to compete against the best the CONCACAF Gold Cup has to offer as it starts a difficult Group A campaign against Panama on Tuesday.
Frenchman Collat took over as Haiti head coach in January 2014 and led the team to a third-placed finish at the Caribbean Cup last November.
That showing was enough to earn Haiti a sixth appearance at the Gold Cup where it was drawn in a tough group against 2013 champion United States, Panama and Honduras - three sides heavily favored to go far in the tournament.
