2026 Haiti World Cup Roster: Complete 26-Man Team
Sebastian Migne’s roster blends veterans and recent one-time switches as Haiti returns to the men’s tournament after 52 years.
Haiti manager Sebastian Migne announced his 26-player roster on Friday for the upcoming World Cup, marking the nation's first tournament appearance since 1974.
Qualification proved difficult amid ongoing gang violence and political instability that prevented Migne from visiting Haiti during preparations for the tournament.
The squad blends the "old guard" including goalkeeper Johny Placide with new recruits like midfielder Jean-Ricner Bellegarde; Philadelphia Union midfielder Danley Jean Jacques aims to become the club's first active player in a World Cup.
Drawn into Group C, Haiti faces Scotland in Foxborough on June 13, Brazil in Philadelphia on June 19, and Morocco in Atlanta on June 24.
Jean Jacques will play his final Union match in Chester this Saturday before the tournament, as the team hosts Columbus Crew at 7:30 p.m.
The French player of the Haitian team has chosen a list of 26 players, including some known in Ligue 1, who will play the World Championship in America.
Leverton Pierre and Yassin Fortuné are on the list of 26 for the premiere of the "Granadeiros" in a World Cup since 1974. Jean-Baptiste Gorby, of the Sp. de Braga, was left out to choose the French selection.
