The Haiti national football team, also known as Les Grenadiers (The Grenadiers), represents Haiti in men's international soccer. The team is managed by the Haitian Football Federation, which was founded in 1904. Haiti has been a member of FIFA since 1934 and a founding member of CONCACAF since 1961. CONCACAF is the main football organization for North America, Central America, and the Caribbean.

Haiti has made it to the FIFA World Cup twice, first in 1974 and again in 2026. They are one of the few Caribbean teams to reach this global tournament.

The team has also had success in regional competitions. They won the CONCACAF Championship in 1973, making them the only Caribbean team to win this title. In the CONCACAF Gold Cup, their best result was reaching the semifinals in 2019. Haiti also won the CCCF Championship in 1957 and the Caribbean Cup twice, in 1979 and 2007.

Haiti's home stadium is Stade Sylvio Cator in Port-au-Prince. The team's current coach is Sébastien Migné.

History of Haitian Football

Early Days and First Matches

Frontpage of Le Nouvelliste, March 23, 1925
Le Nouvelliste (a Haitian newspaper) from March 1925, describing Haiti's first official match against Jamaica.

The Haitian Football Federation joined FIFA in 1933. This allowed Haiti to enter the qualifiers for the 1934 World Cup in Italy. The team, called Les Grenadiers, played three games against Cuba in Port-au-Prince. They lost two matches and drew one.

Haiti did not participate in World Cup qualifiers again until 1954. For the 1954 World Cup in Switzerland, Haiti played against the United States and Mexico. They lost all their matches, including a tough 8–0 defeat to Mexico.

Regionally, Haiti won the CCCF Championship in 1957. This was their first time in the tournament, and they had a big 6–1 win against Cuba. They also played in the 1959 Pan American Games, finishing fourth.

In 1961, Haiti became part of CONCACAF, a new football organization for North and Central America and the Caribbean. Haiti played in the 1965 CONCACAF Championship, but finished last. Coach Antoine Tassy later returned and helped the team improve. In the 1967 Qualifiers, Haiti finished first in their group, even beating Trinidad and Tobago 4–2.

For the 1970 World Cup qualifiers, Haiti showed great promise. They topped their group, beating Trinidad and Tobago 4–0 and Guatemala 2–0. They then eliminated the United States. In the final round, they faced El Salvador. Haiti won one match and lost another, leading to a deciding third game which El Salvador won in overtime.

The Golden Age of Haitian Football

The 1970s were a great time for Haitian football. Many considered Haiti the third strongest team in the CONCACAF region, after Mexico and Costa Rica. With Antoine Tassy as coach, players like Henri Francillon, Philippe Vorbe, and Emmanuel Sanon became key figures.

Haiti reached the final round of the 1970 World Cup qualifiers, but lost a close play-off match to El Salvador.

In the 1974 World Cup qualifiers, Haiti played all their matches at home. They won their group and qualified for their first World Cup appearance! The tournament was held in West Germany. Haiti was in a tough group with Italy, Argentina, and Poland.

In their first World Cup game against Italy, the score was 0–0 at halftime. Then, Emmanuel Sanon scored a goal for Haiti, surprising everyone! This goal ended Italian goalkeeper Dino Zoff's amazing record of 1143 minutes without letting in a goal. Italy eventually won 3–1. Haiti then lost to Poland (0–7) and Argentina (1–4), finishing last in their group.

Challenges and Rebuilding

After the 1970s, Haiti tried to qualify for the 1978 and 1982 World Cups but did not succeed. Over the years, the team faced many challenges. Sometimes, players left the team due to difficulties in the country.

The team has worked hard to rebuild, often with help from Haitian communities living abroad, especially in Miami, Florida. Some of Haiti's home games have even been played in Miami. Recently, Haiti has been growing stronger in CONCACAF football once again.

Impact of the 2010 Earthquake

The earthquake in January 2010 deeply affected Haiti. Many people connected to Haitian football, including players, coaches, and officials, sadly passed away. The football community showed great strength and resilience during this difficult time.

In 2012, Haiti finished third in the 2012 Caribbean Championship, which earned them a spot in the 2013 Gold Cup. The team continued to face tough competition. In June 2013, Haiti played against world champions Spain, losing 2–1, and drew 2–2 with Italy. These were impressive results, with goals scored by Wilde-Donald Guerrier, Olrish Saurel, and Jean-Philippe Peguero.

In the 2018 World Cup qualifiers, Haiti reached the fourth round but did not advance further. In 2019, they had their best Gold Cup performance, reaching the semifinals. They won all three group stage games, including a last-minute goal against Costa Rica. They also came back from being 2–0 down to beat Canada 3–2 in the Quarter-finals. They lost 1–0 to Mexico in the semifinals after a penalty.

Return to the World Cup in 2026

Haiti started its journey to qualify for the 2026 FIFA World Cup in the second round of CONCACAF qualifying. Due to ongoing challenges in Haiti, the team played all its qualifying matches in other countries. Haiti advanced to the third round, losing only one match to Curacao.

In the third round, Haiti was in Group C with Costa Rica, Honduras, and Nicaragua. They drew with Honduras and Costa Rica, then defeated Nicaragua. After a loss to Honduras, Haiti needed to win its last two matches and have other results go their way. They achieved this with a 1–0 win over Costa Rica and a 2–0 win over Nicaragua. This meant Haiti finished at the top of Group C, directly qualifying for the 2026 FIFA World Cup!

This was Haiti's second time in the FIFA World Cup, their first since 1974, ending a 52-year wait. The team's participation brought a lot of hope to Haitian communities around the world. Before the tournament, the team had to change their jerseys due to design rules. At the World Cup, Haiti was eliminated after two games, with a 1–0 loss to Scotland and a 3–0 defeat to five-time champions Brazil. They also lost their final group stage match 4-2 to Morocco.

Team Image and Colours

Team Colours

The Haiti national team wears red and blue, the same colours as the flag of Haiti. These colours are known as the bicolore. At one point in Haiti's history, during a past government, the flag colours changed, and this was reflected in the team's 1974 World Cup uniform.

Haiti's uniforms have changed many times over the years. The home kit is usually all blue, or mostly blue shirts with red shorts and blue socks. The away kit is often the opposite: all red, or mostly red shirts with blue shorts and red socks. Sometimes, Haiti also has a third kit, which is usually all white. The team's crest, which is the symbol of the Haitian Football Federation, is worn on their shirts and sometimes on their shorts.

Many different companies have made Haiti's kits. The first known kit maker was Adidas for the 1974 World Cup. Since 2013, the team's kits have been made by the Colombian company Saeta.
