The Stade Sylvio Cator (Haitian Creole: Estad Sylvio Cator, French: Stade Sylvio-Cator) is a multi-purpose stadium in Port-au-Prince, Haiti. It is currently used mostly for association football matches, and is turfed with artificial turf.[2]
History
[edit source]The stadium bears the name of Haitian Olympic medalist and footballer Sylvio Cator. It was named after him in 1958. Before then the stadium was called the Parc Leconte (for President Cincinnatus Leconte).[3] and then the Stade Paul-Magloire, for President Paul Magloire.[1] It is where the Haiti national football team play its home games. It has hosted the 1973 CONCACAF Championship, where the home team were crowned as champions[4] and the 1991 CONCACAF Women's Championship where the final match between the U.S. and Canada reached overcapacity of 30,000.[5][6]
The stadium was partly destroyed by the earthquake in Haiti in January 2010, and a tent-city sprouted within its confines.[2] Renovation work, funded by FIFA,[7] was carried out over a period of four months, after which the stadium once again hosted the Haitian national team.
