Haiti World Cup 2026 Squad: Final 26-Player List

Most of Haiti’s World Cup 2026 squad grew up in France, not Port-au-Prince. Coach Sébastien Migné confirmed the final 26 on May 15, 2026, for the Grenadiers’ second-ever World Cup appearance. He’s never visited Haiti. The qualification campaign was run remotely from abroad. Haiti topped CONCACAF Group C with 11 points and qualified anyway.

French clubs supply the biggest share of the Haiti World Cup 2026 squad. Two players, Bellegarde and Isidor, represent the Premier League. USL and MLS also feature. Woodensky Pierre is the only player based in Haiti itself.

Fixtures

Haiti play all three group stage matches in the United States. Times are shown in both Eastern Time (ET) and Haiti Time (HT). Haiti doesn’t observe daylight saving time, so HT runs one hour behind ET in June.

Date	Match	Venue	Time (ET)	Time (HT)
June 13, 2026	Haiti vs Scotland	Boston Stadium, Foxborough	9:00 PM	8:00 PM
June 19, 2026	Brazil vs Haiti	Philadelphia Stadium, Philadelphia	8:30 PM	7:30 PM
June 24, 2026	Morocco vs Haiti	Atlanta Stadium, Atlanta	6:00 PM	5:00 PM

The top two from Group C advance automatically. The EIGHT best third-placed teams across all 12 groups also reach the Round of 32. A single point against Scotland could keep Haiti’s knockout chances alive heading into the Morocco fixture.

Scotland is Haiti’s most winnable match. The Scots haven’t reached a World Cup since 1998. Migné’s organised side won’t be arriving in Foxborough as tourists.

Manager: Sébastien Migné

Sébastien Migné is a French coach who spent time as a midfielder at Leyton Orient in the late 1990s. Haiti appointed him in the summer of 2024.

His international management career runs through Africa. Migné took Kenya to the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations. He later joined Cameroon’s backroom as assistant to Rigobert Song at the 2023 AFCON in Ivory Coast.

He has never been to Haiti. Safety concerns meant the Grenadiers used Curacao as their home base for every CONCACAF qualifier. Migné ran the camp remotely. Haiti topped the group.

Tactically he builds around a compact defensive block and quick transitions through pace up front. Bellegarde drives from deep. Wide forwards create the openings. The system is simple and it worked against Honduras, Costa Rica and Nicaragua.

Star Player: Wilson Isidor

Wilson Isidor, 25, is a forward for Sunderland. Born August 27, 2000, in France, he is of Haitian and Malagasy descent. He committed to the Grenadiers in early 2026 and didn’t make his debut until March.

Isidor signed permanently with Sunderland in February 2025. He scored five Premier League goals in the 2025-26 season, including one in the 3-0 win over West Ham on opening day. His low centre of gravity and burst of pace made him one of the sharper forwards in the division.

His debut for Haiti came as a substitute against Tunisia on March 28, 2026. He scored his first international goal two days later in a 1-1 friendly draw with Iceland. Two caps, one goal. The ceiling already looks high.

Isidor spent years in France’s youth system before choosing Haiti. A strong showing in Group C, particularly against Scotland, puts him in front of a global audience for the first time. Haiti’s World Cup 2026 squad has its star and he only declared his allegiance three months ago.

Key Players to Watch

Keeto Thermoncy

Keeto Thermoncy is 20 and the youngest player in Haiti’s squad. Born March 29, 2006, the defender plays for Swiss champions Young Boys. He arrives at the World Cup with two senior caps after Migné trusted him over more experienced alternatives.

His athleticism and positional sense are his best attributes. Young Boys is a sharp development environment. Thermoncy represents Haiti’s most exciting long-term prospect at the back.

Duckens Nazon

Duckens Nazon is 32 and Haiti’s all-time leading scorer with 44 international goals. He plays for Iranian club Esteghlal and scored six goals in CONCACAF qualifying, including a hat-trick against Costa Rica in November 2025.

His legs aren’t what they were. His finishing is. Nazon reached his 100th club career goal in December 2025. In a tight game against Scotland, he’s exactly the kind of player Migné will call from the bench.

Jean-Ricner Bellegarde

Jean-Ricner Bellegarde, 27, plays as a midfielder at Wolverhampton Wanderers. Born in France on June 27, 1998, he committed to Haiti in August 2025 and started every match since his debut during the qualifying round.

Bellegarde covers ground at both ends and keeps possession under pressure. He’s the player who makes Haiti tick in midfield. His Premier League quality is the thing opponents ranked above Haiti won’t fully expect.

Qualification Path & World Cup History

Haiti topped CONCACAF Group C with 11 points from six matches. The record reads three wins, two draws, one loss. The only defeat was 3-0 to Honduras in October 2025. They finished two points clear at the top.

Duckens Nazon’s hat-trick against Costa Rica in November put qualification beyond doubt. Haiti played every home fixture in Curacao, not Port-au-Prince, yet topped the group anyway.

Haiti’s only previous World Cup appearance came at the 1974 tournament in West Germany. Drawn in Group 4 alongside Italy, Poland and Argentina, they lost all three games: 1-3 to Italy, 0-7 to Poland and 1-4 to Argentina. The record reads zero wins, zero draws, three losses.

That campaign still delivers one iconic detail. Forward Emmanuel Sanon scored against Italy to end Dino Zoff’s world-record run of 1,143 minutes without conceding in international football. Sanon’s goal is Haiti’s most famous World Cup moment. Isidor now has a chance to write the next one.

What to Expect & Our Prediction

Migné defends deep and hits on the counter. Isidor’s pace and Bellegarde’s composure are the primary weapons. It’s a practical setup for a side ranked 83rd facing the fifth-ranked Brazilians and 11th-ranked Moroccans.

Brazil will expose the defensive line. Limiting the margin is the realistic target for that fixture. Against Morocco, Haiti will need organised defending and a strong start from Bellegarde in midfield.

Scotland is the game. Haiti are likely to finish third or fourth in Group C. Their best case is a result against Scotland that keeps them in the third-place ranking race. A win against the Scots would be the biggest result in Haitian football history.

Haiti World Cup 2026 Squad FAQs

Haiti’s World Cup 2026 squad is a diaspora-built group with real quality in key positions. The group stage won’t be forgiving, but Isidor’s pace, Bellegarde’s composure and Nazon’s finishing give the Grenadiers the tools to threaten at least once.

The Haiti World Cup 2026 squad returns to football’s biggest stage 52 years on, and they’re not here just to make up the numbers.
