Haiti at the 2026 World Cup: roster, list, players, group and schedule

World Cup debutants Haiti face the ultimate test in their second Group C fixture as they prepare to square off against five-time champions Brazil at Philadelphia Stadium. Head coach Sebastián Migné’s side showed plenty of tactical grit in their tournament opener, limiting Scotland to a narrow 1-0 defeat in Boston while nearly matching them in expected goals. Migné has built a fearless roster anchored by several European-based standouts, expecting veteran goalkeeper Johnny Placide, prolific forward Frantzdy Pierrot, and striker Wilson Isidor to carry the creative burden.

They face a heavyweight Seleção squad under immense internal pressure. Carlo Ancelotti’s star-studded team looked sluggish in a 1-1 opening draw against Morocco, needing a rescue goal from Vinícius Júnior to salvage a single point. With Scotland currently leading the group, both sides head into Philadelphia needing a decisive result to keep their knockout stage ambitions firmly on track.
