Atlanta, June 24, 2026 — Haiti may leave the 2026 World Cup without qualifying, but not without pride. Against Morocco, the Grenadiers delivered one of their most courageous performances of the tournament, driven by two historic moments: a first goal scored by Lenny Joseph, followed by a second by Wilson Isidor.
In an intense Group C match, Haiti surprised Morocco early in the first half. Lenny Joseph opened the scoring, giving the Grenadiers the lead, before Wilson Isidor rekindled hope for the Haitian people with a significant strike, scoring Haiti’s second goal of the match.
Even though Morocco came back into the game, this performance will remain a strong symbol for Haitian football. After a 52-year absence from the World Cup, Haiti returned to the biggest stage in world football with courage, discipline, and pride.
The Grenadiers, already eliminated before this final matchday, did not play like a resigned team. They showed character, audacity, and a desire to leave their mark. Against an ambitious Moroccan team, Haiti proved that they could compete, score, and challenge a high-level opponent.
Lenny Joseph and Wilson Isidor thus write an important chapter in the recent history of Haitian football. Their goals don’t just change the scoreboard: they convey an image of dignity, struggle, and hope to an entire nation.
For Haiti, this 2026 World Cup will remain one of return, learning, but also a clear message: the Grenadiers have returned to the world stage, and they intend to stay there.
