Tension is rising for the Haitian national football team, which is preparing to enter a decisive phase of its international calendar. This Monday, May 26, national coach Sébastien Migné revealed the final list of 25 players selected for the major June deadlines: the last two matches of Phase 2 of the 2026 World Cup qualifiers (Concacaf zone), as well as the group stage of the 2025 Gold Cup.
After evaluating an expanded pre-selection of 42 players, Migné made his decision to form a group blending experience and youth, with the clear objective of making the Grenadiers shine on both fronts.
As part of the 2026 World Cup qualifiers, Haiti will play two decisive matches. On June 7, the Grenadiers will face Aruba, before taking on Curaçao on June 10. Both matches will take place at Compleho Deportivo Guillermo Trinidad, located in Oranjestad, the capital of Aruba.
With a spot in the final phase at stake, every point will count, and the Haitian national team will need to be strong and determined to overcome this important step towards a potential qualification for the North American World Cup.
As soon as these two confrontations are over, Haiti will follow up with the 18th edition of the Gold Cup, which begins mid-June. Migné's men will play in a particularly challenging Group D, alongside:
Saudi Arabia (June 15)
Trinidad and Tobago (June 19)
United States (June 22) A busy schedule, facing formidable opponents, will offer the Grenadiers a golden opportunity to prove their worth on the continental stage. With this list of 25 players, Sébastien Migné shows that he has a clear vision to guide Haiti through these two major competitions. The objective is twofold: to remain in contention for the 2026 World Cup and to create a surprise in the Gold Cup. The ball is now in the players' court. The coming weeks promise to be exciting for Haitian supporters, who hope to see their national team write a new page in history. THE LIST GOALKEEPERS
