A sector of the Haitian fans chanted Nayib Bukele's name and displayed flags of El Salvador in support of the offensive against gangs in his country. The match was played in the U.S. because Haiti cannot host international matches on its territory due to the security crisis. The presence of the Haitian diaspora turned the venue into one with a large majority of supporters of Les Grenadiers, as the Haitian national team is known. Videos circulated on social media showed attendees chanting "Bukele, Bukele" from the stands, as well as signs referring to the Salvadoran leader. The images also show flags of El Salvador among the fans. The expressions of support come amid the expansion of the deployment of Salvadoran military personnel in Haiti following the disappearance of four aviation technicians in the Caribbean country.

The video, initially posted by a Haitian account, captures the chants of attendees at Nu Stadium. The demonstration reflected the support of part of the Haitian community in the United States for the Salvadoran action in their country. Stadium in Haiti became a base to advance on gang-controlled areas This Thursday, the Haitian National Police reported that it recovered the Sylvio Cator Stadium in Port-au-Prince. It then handed the facility over to the Armed Forces of El Salvador. Bukele announced that the stadium will be used as an operations base to enter territories under gang control. The leader released images of Salvadoran soldiers inside the facility and stated that the allied forces now have a favorable position on the ground. "I firmly ask all gang members to leave the area before the offensive begins," he warned. He also stressed that armed groups that stay to fight will have to "face the consequences." Salvadoran forces will use the Sylvio Cator Stadium as a base to push into gang-controlled areas.

The group was part of the Gang Suppression Force (GSF), a multinational mission backed by the United Nations that supports Haitian authorities in their fight against armed groups. Their duties were linked to aviation operations and medical evacuations. El Salvador sent 2,000 soldiers in search of 4 aviation technicians missing in Haiti since October 18.

Haitian authorities found the burned vehicle on November 3, but to date there has been no official confirmation on the whereabouts of the four technicians. The GSF, through its spokesman Igor Rugwiza, clarified that one Salvadoran military contingent operates under its command, while others are deployed under a bilateral framework between the Government of Haiti and the Government of El Salvador.
