National Team

A tightened squad signaling Sébastien Migné’s decisive choices ahead of the World Cup

The Haitian head coach has unveiled a 25-player squad for the upcoming friendlies against Tunisia and Iceland on March 28 and 31. With less than three months to go before the 2026 World Cup, this selection carries major strategic importance, serving as a full-scale rehearsal for the final roster. The focus is clearly on in-form players competing regularly at club level, particularly in Europe and MLS.

New additions strengthening squad depth

Among the key takeaways is the inclusion of Wilson Isidor, Delentz Pierre, and Woodensky Pierre, highlighting a clear intent to inject fresh energy into the squad. These profiles provide new tactical options, especially in attack, where competition is becoming increasingly fierce.

Notable absences reshaping the hierarchy

The absence of Fafà Picault, along with Miki Cantave, Dany Jean, and Garven Metusala, sends a strong message: status no longer guarantees selection. Some players are paying the price for inconsistency or technical decisions made by the coaching staff at a critical stage.
