FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. (Thursday, October 8, 2015) - Fort Lauderdale Strikers midfielder James Marcelin has been called up by the Haiti national team for their upcoming match against El Salvador at BBVA Compass Stadium in Houston on Friday at 9 p.m. EDT.

The 6-foot-2 defensive midfielder has earned more than two dozen caps for Haiti since making his international debut in 2007.

Marcelin has made 16 appearances (15 starts) in competitive matches for the Strikers in 2015, scoring two goals and tallying three assists. The Haitian international has been named to the North American Soccer League (NASL) Team of the Week three times this year.
