Haiti return to the World Cup for only the second time in their history, 52 years after 1974, with a diaspora-heavy squad averaging 24 years old and spearheaded by Premier League talent Wilson Isidor and Wolves midfielder Jean-Ricner Bellegarde.
Haiti's first World Cup was in 1974 in West Germany — they were the only Caribbean nation in that tournament and scored a memorable goal against Italy through Emmanuel Sanon.
Coach Migné qualified Haiti without ever visiting the country, managing entirely remotely due to gang violence and kidnapping risks in Port-au-Prince.
Goalkeeper Josué Duverger became the lowest-ranked club player at the 2026 World Cup, playing for fifth-tier German side FC Cosmos Koblenz.
All of Haiti's qualifying matches were played 'at home' in Curaçao — Haiti has no safe stadium to host international football.
The squad kit, made by Colombian brand Saeta, features silhouettes of the Haitian Revolution and the motto 'L'union fait la force' (Union makes strength).
When Emmanuel Sanon put Haiti ahead against Italy in 1974, he ended Dino Zoff's world-record run of 1,142 international minutes without conceding — nearly two years of clean sheets, wiped out by a World Cup debutant.
Haiti's midfielder Ernst Jean-Joseph made unwanted history at the 1974 World Cup as the first player ever thrown out of the tournament for a failed doping test.
