International career
Haven played for the Bahamas in Pan-American Games Qualifiers in 1987 against Mexico[1] and in all 4 FIFA World Cup qualification matches in 2000.[2]
Administration
After retiring as a player, Haven was long-time head coach of Cavalier FC[3] and served as Executive Director and General Secretary of the Bahamas Football Association[4] and also became a member of the Executive Committee of the Caribbean Football Union in 2001.
FIFA Ban
In April 2016, Haven was banned for five years by FIFA Ethics Committee from all football-related activities due to non-disclosure of information around payments at a CFU event.[5] The verdict was a fine of $3,000. Haven's ban was due to an alleged cash for votes controversy. It happened at a hotel in Trinidad, where the Caribbean football executives were given $40,000 in envelopes ahead of the 2011 FIFA presidential election.[6] He later denied any wrongdoing.[7]
Personal life
Haven graduated from the University of Charleston, West Virginia in 1989. He then worked as an accountant and is currently CEO at a land title research company.[4]
His older brother Sam also played for the national team and was a president of the BFA. He died in August 2014.[8] Two of his daughters played for the Bahamas Women U-17 team in 2012.[9]
