History
Real Hope Football Academy was formed by former Vice President from AS Capoise (located in Cap-Haïtien), who decided to create a football club and founded Real Hope Football Academy on 14 May 2014.[1]
Real started in Division 3 and was quickly promoted to Division 2 the following year in 2015. After being crowned champions of the 2015 season,[4] the club was promoted to the top-tier Division 1, in just its second year of existence.[1] Real Hope FA mostly recently qualified for the 2024 Caribbean Cup, via their winning of Group A of the 2023-24 Ligue Haitienne.[5] Real Hope secured qualification to the 2025 CONCACAF Champions by finishing 3rd in the 2024 Caribbean Cup,[6] where they lost 7-0 on aggregate to Cruz Azul in the Round of 32.[7]
