Larry Mussenden said Bermuda’s players need not worry about the high crime, poor infrastructure and prevalence of cholera during next month’s Digicel Cup qualifiers held in poverty stricken Haiti.The Bermuda Football Association president has moved to ease concerns raised by members Bermuda’s squad who take on with St Martin, Puerto Rico and hosts Haiti in the first round of the competition.“I have heard concerns and we’ve done everything to address the concerns,” Mussenden said. “The Bermuda Football Association has been in contact with the general secretary (Damian Hughes) of the CFU (Caribbean Football Union) as well as in direct contact with the president (Jean -Bart Yves) of the Haitian Football Federation and we have been assured by both individuals that everything will be in proper order for Haiti to host the tournament.”Next month’s regional tournament will be held at the new Sylvo Cator Stadium that has been approved by Fifa, Concacaf and CFU.“We have been informed that of all the Caribbean territories the stadium and facilities that Haiti has are probably second only to Jamaica and Trinidad and possibly Puerto Rico,” Mussenden said. “So despite what anybody might think about Haiti the stadium we are going to be playing in is probably better than what we offer here at our national stadium.”Mussenden said the local delegation will stay at some of the best accommodation Haiti has to offer.“The team will be hosted in tourist resorts that have been used by the CFU, Concacaf and Fifa,” he added. “They are also playing in the area that can be referred to as a tourist area that is actually some ways away from the earthquake areas which was in Port-au-Prince.”In 2010 Haiti suffered a devastating earthquake that killed thousands and left thousands more homeless.Both CFU and Haitian Football Federation officials have assured the BFA that security measures will be put in place while Mussenden has quashed any concerns about the prevalence of cholera in the Caribbean Island that hosted international matches earlier this year.“There have been no health issues that have arisen from other football tournaments that have been held there,” he said.Travel advisories posted online warn potential visitors to Haiti of the risk of crime, limited police protection, cholera and infrastructure that remains poor and unable to support normal activity.“There are a number of websites that people can go to where they are going to say a number of things,” Mussenden said. “But again we are assured by the CFU general secretary and president of the Haitian Football Federation in that they are looking forward to the tournament to be held there just like they’ve done for others.“Whilst we want to make sure the other circumstances off the field are taking care of, and we are sure they are, the coaching staff and players have to focus on what’s going to happen on the field to secure the points and advance. And I’m confident that our coaching staff and players are going to rise to the challenge and go down there and have a good showing at the tournament.”Only the top two teams in Haiti will advance to the second round of Digicel Caribbean Cup qualifiers.Bermuda’s senior national squad, expected to be announced in the near future, are due to leave for Haiti September 5.
