“You can look into my eyes, I’m all about the youth of HAITI. Too much young talent, and NO one is doing shit about it. I will be in the frontline.”  Pedro Herivaux, President of the LNFJH

Soccer is recognized worldwide as a sport that everyone can relate to. Tapin Mobile Solutions, a technology company, has created a football league in Haiti to engage boys and girls to participate in a competitive tournament.

According to the website: tapinmobilessolutions .com it “offers a revolutionary, state-of-the-art mobile and online platform that enables the self-management and organization of sports leagues.” This Enterprise-League Platform is the “first of its kind end-to-end solution that handles all aspects of the league with the organization and administration.” 

It was in 2019 that this platform was launched by Ligue Nationale de Football des Jeunes Haïti (Haitian Youth National Football League), also known as LNFJH, and the Tapin Youth National Football League. It has expanded into Kenya and Tanzania. Since then. Tapin Mobile’s app can be downloaded, and is interactive and user-friendly.

The Tapin App is, “A solution-focused platform that creates ease and enjoyment for: parents and players, coaches, officials and administrators alike!” The goal of the technology is to reduce the administrative and technological burden, speed up processes, and allow all stakeholders to focus on what matters most – the game itself.

In many ways, the Tapin Mobile App is very inclusive and has several features that enable it to accomplish a wide array of activities such as:

Team Management
Allows for all team management logistics related to the roster and team operations to be completed easily from your phone.

Player Registration
Player registration is easy on the Tapin app and can be completed on a mobile device.

Scheduling
All game scheduling for league play is done through the Tapin app.

Education and Certification
The Tapin app allows coaches and referees to complete certifications within the app.

Statistics
It provides data aggregation to gain insight and statistics on leagues, teams, players, fields, and referees. Player statistics such as goal scorers and yellow and red cars will be updated and displayed dynamically.

Communication
Serves as a team communication tool. When players are added to a team, they will be able to communicate with teammates/coaches and RSVP to games and practices.

I spoke with Pedro Herivaux, President of the LNFJH. He splits his time between Haiti and the U.S to fulfil his responsibilities to the league. It was after the earthquake in 2010, that he developed, and manufactured a cell phone that can withstand any weather conditions. He was a former professional soccer player who has become an entrepreneur. Pedro remains passionate about helping the youth of Haiti.
