ABOUT US
FOOTBALL CLUB TORO
FC TORO created on September 1st 2012, has become one of the largest soccer clubs in Haiti. Originally dedicated to boys we expanded our courses to girls in January 2015 and we currently offer training to over 370 boys and girls 6 to 16 years old including nearly 100 sponsored kids.
Sponsorship of children with low economic capacity has been one of our greatest achievements. For more information please check out the FC TORO support section.
Inspired by the passion for the beautiful game of soccer and placing our children at the heart of our organization FC TORO gathers children and adolescents around a unique philosophy that reflects the power of determination and of dreams:
FC TORO MACHE SOU YO! ONE TEAM ONE DREAM!
OUR PROGRAM
Our program aims at creating a space and providing the training skills to allow our children to be their best and demonstrate their highest capacity of performance.
Our principles rely on ALIGNMENT, DISCIPLINE, SELF CONTROL, SELF CONFIDENCE and GIVING BACK.
Every detail matters!

VISION
FC TORO ACADEMY
Our dream at FC TORO is to bring our young athletes to a level of training that has never been reached before in Haiti. As we initially focused on providing a space where our chidren could perform at their highest potential in all aspects of their lives through a sport like soccer, we quickly realized that in order to achieve this goal our organization has to evolve at the same rythm as our athletes. In other words flexibility and innovation are at the basis of our approach to meet the needs of our rapidly maturing group of soccer players.
Our kids have acquired enough skills and discipline to demand for more...They are ready for the next level of training to be offered in our Academy. Our duty is to provide the means for them to go beyond previous benchmarks. The FC TORO soccer Academy is being launched this year.
Thanks to the dedication of our staff, the support of our parents and sponsors and the motivation of our kids, FC TORO has been expending at a pace that has exceeded our expectations.
With our growing soccer league and the objectives set forth by our Academy, moving to a facility that provides more training fields in an appropriate setting is necessary.
As of 2016, FC TORO undertook the project to built its owns facility. This initiative became possible thanks to the Villejouin family who voluntarily provided the land where the FC TORO sports facility would be built.
FC TORO SPORTS CENTER
The FC TORO sports center is an all-inclusive sport and recreation facility that will not only expand our soccer training capacity but also provide a recreational environment for all the members of the FC TORO family including other siblings, parents and friends. Multiple soccer fields on one property will also facilitate parents with children in various categories.
Once completed, the FCTORO sports center will include:
-
One professional-sized soccer stadium with 1,000 person seating capacity
-
Two 9v9 sized soccer field
-
One gym and physical therapy facility
-
One basketball/futsal/volleyball court
-
