Haiti's squad list for the 2026 World Cup.

Haiti will participate in the FIFA World Cup for the second time in history and the first time after a 52-year absence. After topping their qualifying group for 2026, the Caribbean team hopes to earn their first World Cup points in history in a group alongside five-time champions Brazil, Scotland, and Morocco.

Haiti continues its World Cup dream after more than half a century.

Haiti will participate in the FIFA World Cup for the second time in its history and the first time after a 52-year absence – a memorable milestone for the Caribbean nation's football.

In their only World Cup appearance in 1974, Les Grenadiers lost all three group stage matches and conceded 14 goals – a bittersweet memory for Haitian football fans.

However, after impressively topping their group in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers, the Caribbean team hopes to earn their first World Cup points in history this summer. Haiti's group includes five-time champions Brazil, Scotland, and Morocco – a major challenge but also an opportunity for Haiti to assert its progress.

Haiti's squad list for the FIFA World Cup 2026

The Haiti national team participating in the FIFA World Cup 2026 boasts a roster featuring many players currently playing in professional leagues across Europe and the Americas. Notably, the squad includes two stars playing in the Premier League, along with several players from the MLS in the United States.

Goalkeepers: Johny Placide (SC Bastia), Alexandre Pierre (FC Sochaux), Josué Duverger (FC Cosmos Koblenz).

Defenders: Carlens Arcus (Angers SCO), Wilguens Paugain (SV Zulte Waregem), Duke Lacroix (Colorado Springs), Martin Experience (AS Nancy-Lorraine), Jean-Kevin Duverne (KAA Gent), Ricardo Adé (LDU Quito), Hannes Delcroix (FC Lugano), Keeto Thermoncy (BSC Young Boys II).

Midfielders: Leverton Pierre (FC Vizela), Carl-Fred Sainthe (El Paso Locomotive FC), Jean-Jacques Danley (Philadelphia Union), Jeanricner Bellegarde (Wolverhampton), Pierre Woodenski (Violette AC), Dominique Simon (FC Tatran Prešov).

Forwards: Louicius Deedson (FC Dallas), Ruben Providence (Almere City FC), Josué Casimir (AJ Auxerre), Derrick Etienne (Toronto FC), Wilson Isidor (Sunderland AFC), Duckens Nazon (Esteghlal FC), Frantzdy Pierrot (Çaykur Rizespor), Yassin Fortune (FC Vizela), Lenny Joseph (Ferencváros TC).

Duckens Nazon is the all-time leading scorer for the Haitian national team and played a decisive role in their 2026 World Cup qualifying campaign. He scored six goals in the qualifiers, including an impressive hat-trick against Costa Rica.

With his consistent form and extensive experience, Duckens Nazon will continue to be the number one hope in attack for Les Grenadiers at the 2026 World Cup. The striker currently plays for Esteghlal FC.

Sunderland striker Wilson Isidor recently officially switched his national team status from France to Haiti, making his debut for his new team in March. This is a quality addition to Haiti's attack, as the team now has another player currently playing in the Premier League – the world's top league.

Another Premier League star in the Haiti squad is Wolverhampton Wanderers midfielder Jean-Ricner Bellegarde. The inclusion of these two players currently playing in the world's most competitive league provides Haiti with the experience and mental fortitude needed to compete at the highest level – an element they lacked in their only previous World Cup appearance.

Danley Jean-Jacques, who plays for Philadelphia Union in the American Major League Soccer (MLS), is another key player for the Haitian national team. He plays as a defensive midfielder – a crucial position that helps protect the defense and distribute the ball for attacks.

With many Haitian national team players currently playing in the MLS, the Caribbean team is expected to have a distinct advantage in terms of competitive environment when participating in the 2026 World Cup – a tournament to be held in the United States, Canada, and Mexico.
