What is Vant Bèf Info?
Vant Bèf Info, abbreviated VBI on its own pages, is a Haitian news site publishing at vantbefinfo.com. The site describes itself as “le premier site d'information en Haïti”; that is the outlet's own claim and is not adopted here.[1]
Its own navigation gives the sections À la Une, Politique, Info Sport, Sécurité, Brèves and Vidéos.[1] No owner, publisher or director is named on the pages retrieved, and no register entry or filing for the outlet could be retrieved.[1]
Reporters Without Borders places Haiti 107th of 180 countries in the 2026 World Press Freedom Index with a score of 50.32, and states that “Radio is the most widely followed mass medium. The country has more than 700 radio and TV stations, but only half operate legally with a licence from Conatel, the agency that regulates communications.”[4] Conatel's own site carries Textes légaux and Textes réglementaires sections.[5]
What does Vant Bèf Info cover?
The general news retrieved on 23 September 2026 was dated that day and the three days before it.[1] Sport is carried as its own section under the heading Info Sport.[1]
The sport index read on 23 September 2026 ran from 31 July to 17 September 2026 on its first page and covered the Fédération Haïtienne de Football's institutional business, the women's national team, youth national teams, 3x3 basketball at the Central American and Caribbean Games, kick-boxing and international football.[2] Among the dated items were the U-20 team's qualification for the 2027 Pan American Games on 31 August 2026, a U-14 result against the Dominican Republic on 21 August 2026 and the naming of David Badía as senior selector on 22 August 2026.[2] The section also carried, on 8 September 2026, the nomination of Melchie Dumornay for the 2026 Ballon d'Or for a second consecutive year, and on 23 August 2026 the U-14 team's win in the CFU Challenge Series.[2]
Its 17 September 2026 report, bylined Israel, recorded that the Fédération Haïtienne de Football presented a revised crest that day, with “le bleu occupe la partie supérieure, alors que le rouge apparaît dans la partie inférieure”, retaining the coat of arms, the year 1904 and the Marron Inconnu, and following the statutes adopted at the extraordinary congress of 31 May 2026.[3]
How large is Vant Bèf Info's audience?
No audited audience currency for Haitian online media could be retrieved for this page, and the outlet's own site publishes no traffic or readership figure.[1] Traffic estimators are not audited measurement and no estimator reading is given here.
The one count the site itself prints is of its own archive: the Info Sport index paginated to 52 pages when read on 23 September 2026.[2] That is the site's own pagination, not a count computed here, and it is a measure of output rather than of readership.
For the market, RSF's 2026 country page gives Haiti's index position as 107th of 180 with a score of 50.32 and describes a market of more than 700 radio and television stations, half of them operating without a Conatel licence.[4][5]
Since when has Vant Bèf Info existed?
No founding date for the outlet could be retrieved, either from its own pages or from a register, and the site states none; pages headed À propos and Qui sommes-nous did not resolve.[1] No year is asserted here.
What can be dated is the archive. The Info Sport index paginated to 52 pages, with its first page running from 31 July to 17 September 2026, and the site's general news was current to 23 September 2026.[2][1] The earliest individual sport item retrieved and read in full was dated 17 September 2026.[3]
Why does Vant Bèf Info matter in Haiti's sport?
Its Info Sport section is one of the few retrievable Haitian feeds carrying the football federation's institutional business as news: the revised crest of 17 September 2026 and its stated derivation from the statutes adopted on 31 May 2026, the appointment of a senior selector on 22 August 2026, and youth-team results and qualifications through August 2026.[3][2]
It also carries sports beyond football under the same heading, including 3x3 basketball at the Central American and Caribbean Games and kick-boxing, which widens the retrievable Haitian record beyond the football material.[2]
Its own claim to primacy among Haitian news sites is quoted above and attributed to it; no audited measurement supporting or contradicting it could be retrieved, and the only count the site publishes about itself is the pagination of its sport archive.[1][2][4]
