The Dominican Football Federation files a formal complaint with Concacaf and FIFA over incidents
The Dominican Football Federation (Fedofútbol) has taken decisive measures following the controversial events recorded during the match between the national teams of the Dominican Republic and Haiti, played on October 1, 2026. The organization has filed a formal complaint with the disciplinary committees of Concacaf and FIFA, seeking an evaluation of the behavior of Haitian player Wilson Isidor.
During the match, the forward expressed slogans such as “Hispaniola is Haiti” and “this is Haiti” on the field of play. These statements have been described by Dominican authorities as a serious breach of the principles governing sports discipline and respect between nations.
Legal actions and institutional commitment
The management led by José Deschamps has made it clear that it will not overlook this type of provocation. Through an official statement, the entity reported that it has provided all the necessary evidence for international bodies to determine the appropriate sanctions.
The Federation has submitted the relevant documentation and supporting elements to the competent bodies, leaving the assessment of the facts and the adoption of the corresponding measures in accordance with their regulations in their hands.

- The protection of territorial integrity and respect for the national Constitution, which must prevail in any sporting scenario.
