Haitian national team midfielder Woodensky Pierre has obtained a visa to travel to the United States for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, according to reports confirmed as of June 8, 2026. The visa approval allows Pierre to join the squad for matches scheduled in the U.S., a key step for the player and the team.
However, Haitian supporters remain unable to obtain visas to attend the tournament in person, due to ongoing U.S. visa restrictions for Haitian citizens. The U.S. Department of State has not announced any changes to visa policies for Haitian nationals as of this date.
The 2026 World Cup is being co-hosted by the United States, Canada, and Mexico. Haiti qualified for the tournament for the first time since 1974, generating excitement among fans despite travel barriers.
Pierre, a key midfielder, plays professionally in Haiti's domestic league. His visa approval was confirmed by the Haitian Football Federation (FHF) in a statement.
