A Half-Century Return

πŸ‡­πŸ‡Ή

Haiti have qualified for the FIFA World Cup 2026, representing the CONCACAF confederation. Their presence at the tournament is a proud moment for their football nation and for the fans who have followed this journey through every qualifying match.

Haiti's Group C is brutal: five-time champions Brazil, African semi-finalists Morocco, and Tartan Army Scotland. The Caribbean nation last played a World Cup in West Germany 1974, more than five decades ago, and the qualifying campaign through CONCACAF was equally improbable.

Captain Frantzdy Pierrot anchors the line from Hatayspor, with Ronaldo Damus from OFI Crete and Atlanta United's Derrick Etienne providing the wide threat. The squad is scattered across France, Greek, Turkish, and MLS leagues. There is no single home base. Coach SΓ©bastien MignΓ©'s realistic ambition is to leave with points on the board and the country's second-ever World Cup story.

🌐 Confederation

Haiti in CONCACAF

πŸ†

North/Central America (CONCACAF)

CONCACAF sends 6 teams including three co-hosts. Playing at home gives USA, Canada, and Mexico an enormous advantage.

Haiti competed against other CONCACAF nations through a multi-year qualifying campaign to secure their spot at the 2026 World Cup. The expanded format of 48 teams gave more nations a path to the tournament than ever before.
