GOALS9

What is GOALS9?

GOALS9 is a Haitian sports outlet publishing at goals9.com. Its own about page states that “GOALS9 (www.goals9.com) est une Agence de Presse qui évolue dans le domaine du sport en général et du sport haïtien en particulier” and that “La mission principale de GOALS9 est de promouvoir le sport national”.^[2] Those are the outlet's own descriptions of itself and are not adopted here; no register entry or accreditation confirming press-agency status could be retrieved.

The same page describes the outlet as “Constitué d'une équipe de jeunes journalistes, photographes et vidéographes” and names no individual director or founder.^[2] The site's footer carries the line “2021 - All Right Reserved”.^[1]

On the market around it, Reporters Without Borders places Haiti 107th of 180 countries in the 2026 World Press Freedom Index with a score of 50.32.^[6]

What does GOALS9 cover?

The site's own sections cover football together with basketball, volleyball, boxing, judo, athletics and taekwondo.^[1] Headlines dated 20 September 2026 ran on the midfielder Leverton Pierre remaining in the Portuguese second division, on the first list named by David Badia as selector of the senior men's national team, on Violette AC reaching a semi-final with a fourth consecutive win, on Dany Jean and Torreense in the Europa League and on Josué Casimir's loan from AJ Auxerre to Dynamo Moscow with an option to buy.^[1] The sports named across its own sections extend to basketball, volleyball, boxing, judo, athletics and taekwondo.^[1]

Its distinguishing material is the domestic calendar, reported from the league's own decisions. On 5 November 2025 it reported that the Ligue Haïtienne de Football would open the Championnat national D1 of the 2025-26 season on 8 November 2025.^[3] On 28 February 2026 it reported the opening of the season's série de clôture that day and the following, naming the grounds used — Parc Level, Parc Résigné, Parc Saint-Victor, Parc Sainte-Thérèse, Parc Gérard Christophe and the Land des Gabions.^[4] On 30 May 2026 it reported that the LHF had adopted the calendar for 2026-27, with twelve clubs, a first round on 12 September 2026 and an end of season on 27 May 2027.^[5]

How large is GOALS9's audience?

No audited audience measurement for Haitian online media could be retrieved for this page, and the outlet's own site publishes no traffic or readership figure.^[1][2] Traffic estimators are not audited measurement and none is used here.

What can be dated is output. The site was carrying items timestamped 20 September 2026 when read three days later, and dated reports retrieved from its archive run from 5 November 2025 through 28 February 2026 to 30 May 2026.^[1][3][4][5]

Reporters Without Borders describes the Haitian market as having “more than 700 radio and TV stations, but only half operate legally with a licence from Conatel, the agency that regulates communications”, and states that radio is the most widely followed mass medium; that statement covers broadcasting rather than online publishing and attaches no figure to any title.^[6]

Since when has GOALS9 existed?

The outlet publishes no founding date. The only year printed anywhere on its own pages is the footer line “2021 - All Right Reserved”, which is a copyright notice and not a statement of when the outlet began publishing; no register entry or other instrument giving a founding date could be retrieved.^[1][2] No founding year is asserted here.

Dated articles retrieved from the site run from 5 November 2025 to 20 September 2026, across the 2025-26 season and into the 2026-27 calendar.^[3][4][5][1]

Why does GOALS9 matter in Haiti's sport?

It is the outlet from which the Ligue Haïtienne de Football's own competition decisions were retrievable for this list: the opening date of the 2025-26 Championnat national D1, the grounds used for the season's closing series, and the twelve-club calendar for 2026-27 reported on 30 May 2026.^[3][4][5] Those are the figures that stand behind any structural account of Haitian football as a spectator sport.

Its coverage is not limited to football: its own sections carry basketball, volleyball, boxing, judo, athletics and taekwondo.^[1] Its reporting of players abroad and of national-team selection sits alongside the domestic calendar in the same feed.^[1]

Its claims about its own standing are its own: it states that it is a press agency and that its principal mission is to promote national sport, and that it aims “de permettre à la population haïtienne d'avoir un meilleur choix en matière d'informations sportives”.^[2] No independent measure of its reach could be retrieved.^[6]
