Two Paths From Haiti, One Husky Goal

For Washington Men’s Soccer, the road to Husky Stadium started in Haiti for two teammates.

Official response and confirmed impact

Clarens Dollin was born in Port-au-Prince and moved to the United States as a teenager.

Shaun Brun grew up in Seattle with a Haitian father and has represented Haiti at the U-20 level.

Their routes differ, but both carry the same pride in their heritage and the same dream of playing for Haiti at the highest level.

Dollin’s earliest soccer memories are of pickup games on the beaches of Léogâne.

Teams were a mix of locals of every age and skill level, and he was usually among the youngest, which improved his skills quickly.

“We would play wherever we could, whenever we could,” Dollin said.

He was also apart of the club “Assosiation Sportive de Truitier” where he trained as a young boy.
