2010 earthquake
The federation, which had struggled financially for years, lost all but two of its more than 30 officials during the 2010 earthquake.{{Citation |last=Robinson |first=Joshua |date=March 3, 2010 |title=Haitian soccer's future uncertain |work=SportsIllustrated.com |place=Port-au-Prince, Haiti |publisher=Time Inc. |url=http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2010/soccer/03/03/haiti.soccer/index.html |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100311235600/http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2010/soccer/03/03/haiti.soccer/index.html|archive-date=2010-03-11|url-status=dead |access-date=March 3, 2010}} Also because of the earthquake, the national stadium's field, as well as many other stadiums, were converted to be used as housing for survivors and refugees in makeshift tents.{{Cite web |url=http://arogeraldes.blogspot.com/2010/01/haiti-earthquake.html |title=Haití duele |date=18 January 2010 |language=es |work=Periodismo de fútbol internacional |publisher=Blogspot |access-date=March 3, 2010}} Due to the financial and personal losses of the federation, large financial sums were donated by FIFA and globally–high-ranking individuals within the sport, as well as a $3 million fund for rebuilding infrastructure that had been created by FIFA.There was discussion to build another stadium with funds proceeded from the Petrocaribe Fund during the Michel Martelly administration from 2011-2016, but no action was taken and the monies went unaccounted for, and Olivier Martelly, one of the sons of Michel Martelly blamed it on politics in the country.
