Dominican Republic bans Haiti from its stadiums after football fans clash

The Dominican Republic has banned Haiti’s national football team from playing at its venues following crowd trouble at a CONCACAF Nations League match in Santo Domingo. Sports Minister Kelvin Cruz announced the ban after fans forced entry and damaged a gate at the Félix Sanchez Olympic Stadium, citing a zero-tolerance policy. President Luis Abinader supported the decision, while Haiti’s embassy stated the incidents did not represent the Haitian government’s stance. Haiti won the match 4-1, with Wilson Isidor scoring twice.
