The Stade Sylvio Cator is a multi-purpose stadium in Port-au-Prince , Haiti . It is currently mainly used for soccer. The name is reminiscent of the Haitian athlete Silvio Cator (1900–1952), who won silver in the long jump at the Olympic Games in 1928 and set a world record in the same discipline a few weeks later.
The stadium has a capacity of 30,000. The 2010 earthquake partially destroyed the complex. Inside a tent city for earthquake victims was built. A renovation was still in progress in August 2011.
