Haiti has revealed their World Cup squad, marking their first appearance in the finals in over half a century. Captain Johny Placide and all-time leading scorer Duckens Nazon are set to lead Les Grenadiers at the tournament.
The squad, chosen by French coach Sebastien Migne, includes experienced players such as 38-year-old goalkeeper Placide, who currently plays for Bastia, and Wolverhampton Wanderers midfielder Jean-Ricner Bellegarde. Nazon, based in Iran with Esteghlal, contributed significantly to the team's qualification campaign.
Despite security challenges forcing home matches to be played at neutral venues, Haiti topped their CONCACAF qualifying group. As part of their preparations, the Caribbean team will face New Zealand and Peru before kicking off their Group C games against Scotland, followed by matches against Brazil and Morocco.
