FC Dallas Set Up Haiti Friendly For Charity

The Hoops doing their part.

FC Dallas will host a friendly with the Haitian national team Friday, April 23, at Pizza Hut Park. Admittance will be free, but donations to help Haiti rebuild are encouraged.

On Jan. 12, an earthquake shook Haiti, killing over 200,000 people, injuring far more, and leaving over 1 million homeless.

The Haitian national team was training on its home pitch when the earthquake struck, which preserved their lives. Now the field houses half a million homeless in tents.
