Melchie Dumornay

Early life and AS Tigresses

Dumornay was born in Mirebalais, where she was raised by a single mother together with her three brothers and two cousins. Shortly after she started playing football with older boys in the commune's streets, she joined her first women's football club, AS Mirebalais. Having been impressed by Dumornay's talent, the club's coach, Jean-Claude Josaphat, brought her to Camp Nous, the federation-owned training center for all of the Haitian youth national teams, when she was only 10 years old. A few years later, Dumornay joined fellow Haitian club AS Tigresses, where she came through the youth ranks. In the final of the 2018 Haitian Women’s Soccer Championship, she scored all of the five goals that helped Tigresses gain a 5–2 win over Anacaona SC and win the national title. Having scored 25 goals in nine matches, despite being just 15 years old, she also became the league’s top scorer and received the Best Player award. In the same year, Dumornay was noticed by Reims' manager, Amandine Miquel, while performing at the FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup in France, as the club eventually kept scouting her.

Secondly, she was called-up for the 2018 CONCACAF Women's U-17 Championship, where she helped the Haitian team reach a fourth-place finish and received the Golden Ball. Finally, in August of the same year, she was included in the Haitian squad that took part in the 2018 FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup. In 2020, she was involved once again in the CONCACAF Women's U-20 Championship, where she eventually received the Golden Boot, having scored 14 goals in six games, a new record for the competition.

Haiti senior national team

On 29 January 2020, Dumornay made her debut with the Haitian senior national team, starting and playing full 90 minutes in a 4–0 Olympic qualifier loss against the United States. On 9 April 2022, she scored twice in a 0–21 win over the British Virgin Islands, in the 2022 CONCACAF W Championship qualifiers, which became Les Grenadières' biggest victory ever in an official international match.
