Melchie Daëlle Dumornay (born 17 August 2003), also known as Corventina,[4] is a Haitian professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for Première Ligue club Lyon and the Haiti national team.
Considered as one of the most promising talents of her generation in women's football,[4][5] in 2022 Dumornay won Goal's NXGN award as the best teenage player in the world.[6][7]
Club career
Early life and AS Tigresses
Dumornay was born in Mirebalais,[4][8] where she was raised by a single mother together with her three brothers and two cousins.[8] Shortly after she started playing football with older boys in the commune's streets, she joined her first women's football club, AS Mirebalais.[8] 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.[7][8]
A few years later, Dumornay joined fellow Haitian club AS Tigresses [fr], where she came through the youth ranks.[8][9] 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.[8][10] 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.[11][12]
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.[13] Meanwhile, she was also offered a trial by fellow French club Lyon.[8][12][13] However, neither of the two clubs were able to sign the player because of her non-EU and underage status at the time,[8][13] as well as the effects of the Haitian crisis.[13][14]
In May 2021, Dumornay reached another league final with Tigresses, although the team eventually lost the title to Exafoot: she scored her side's only goal in a 2–1 defeat.[7][15][16]
Reims
After attracting the interest of several high-profile clubs all around the world,[13][17] on 9 September 2021, Dumornay officially joined Reims on a permanent deal, signing her first professional contract with the French club.[18][19] In the process, she re-united with fellow Haitian footballer Kethna Louis.[13][17]
On 2 October of the same year, she made her professional debut for Reims, coming on as a substitute at half-time of a Division 1 Féminine match against Issy: in the same occasion, she provided two assists for Kessya Bussy, thus helping her side gain a 3–1 win.[13][20] One week later, on 9 October, she made her first start against Bordeaux, scoring a brace and serving an assist in a 5–2 victory.[21]
In the following season, Dumornay was awarded as Division 1 Féminine Player of the Month in December 2022.[22][23]
Lyon
On 16 January 2023, it was officially announced that Dumornay would join Division 1 Féminine title holders Lyon on a permanent deal starting from 1 July 2023, as she signed a contract until June 2026 with the club for 25000 per month.[24][25][26]
International career
Youth national teams
Dumornay represented Haiti at various youth international levels.[7]
After taking part in the 2016 CONCACAF Girls' U-15 Championship, aged only 12,[8][27] she took part in three different tournaments throughout 2018. Firstly, she played in the 2018 CONCACAF Women's U-20 Championship, where Haiti finished third and became the first-ever Caribbean national team to qualify for a FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup.[17][28] 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.[8][28][29] 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.[13]
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,[30][31] a new record for the competition.[8]
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.[32]
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.[33]
In July 2022, she was included in the Haitian squad that took part in the CONCACAF W Championship in Mexico:[34] she was eventually named as the Best Young Player[35][36] and included in the tournament's Best XI,[37] having helped Haiti qualify for the inter-confederation play-offs for the 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup.[17]
On 21 February 2023, Dumornay scored a brace in the inter-confederation play-off final against Chile, thus helping her nation gain a 2–1 win and qualify for its first ever FIFA Women's World Cup.[38][39][40]
In July of the same year, she was officially included in the final Haitian squad for the World Cup in Australia and New Zealand;[41] Les Grenadières eventually exited the competition in the group stage.[42][43]
Personal life
In the early phases of her career, Dumornay was nicknamed Piti (the Haitian Creole term for "small") due to her diminutive stature.[8] She is also known as Corventina, a nickname that was first given to her by her older brother.[4][44]
In November 2022, she signed a long-term sponsorship deal with Adidas.[44][45]
