Football – Haiti National Team

A Visit by the Grenadiers to Haiti Before the World Cup Seems Unlikely

The Haitian national team’s visit to Haiti ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup currently appears to be stalled. Despite government announcements regarding a celebratory parade in Cap-Haïtien, no concrete progress has reportedly been made between the authorities and the Haitian Football Federation.
