Haiti's national football team is set to face Brazil in the group stage of the 2026 FIFA World Cup, marking the first-ever competitive meeting between the two nations. The match is scheduled for June 2026 as part of the tournament co-hosted by the United States, Canada, and Mexico.
According to FIFA's official draw results, Haiti was placed in Group F alongside Brazil, Switzerland, and Cameroon. The game against Brazil is expected to be a major challenge for the Haitian squad, which qualified for the World Cup for the first time since 1974.
Haitian captain Johnny Placide expressed confidence ahead of the match, stating, 'We respect Brazil, but we are not here just to make up the numbers. We will fight for every ball.' Brazil, a five-time world champion, is considered a favorite to advance from the group.
