Haiti's national football team has qualified for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, marking their first appearance in the tournament since 1974. The team has been drawn into Group B alongside Brazil, Morocco, and Scotland.
The squad, coached by Sébastien Migné, includes several players with ties to French football, reflecting the strong diaspora connections. Key players include Frantzdy Pierrot, who plays for Maccabi Haifa, and goalkeeper Johny Placide.
Haiti's return to the World Cup comes after a 52-year absence. Their last appearance was in 1974 in West Germany, where they lost all three group matches. The country's football federation has invested in youth development and infrastructure in recent years.
The 2026 World Cup, hosted by the United States, Canada, and Mexico, will feature 48 teams for the first time. Haiti secured their spot by finishing in the top three of CONCACAF qualifying.
