Haiti The last time Haiti played at a World Cup was 1974, when they faced the mighty Italy and held their nerve longer than anyone expected. Fifty-two years of waiting, of near misses and heartbreaks, have led to this. The Caribbean underdogs are back — and they've got half a century of hunger fuelling every single kick.
Haiti will make a historic return to the FIFA World Cup 2026 after qualifying for the tournament for the first time since 1974.
Les Grenadiers are one of the leading teams in the Caribbean and will be making only their second FIFA World Cup appearance. Haiti's previous appearance came in West Germany in 1974, where the team competed in the group stage.
Led by experienced players and a talented new generation, Haiti will look to make a strong impression on football's biggest stage. Here is everything you need to know about Haiti, including the squad, fixtures, results, records and FIFA World Cup statistics.
