As 2025 is set to be a decisive year for Haitian football. The Haitian Football Federation (FHF) has unveiled a pre-list of 42 players called up for upcoming international competitions. This provisional selection, announced by French coach Sébastien Migné, marks the beginning of preparations for two major events: the continuation of the 2026 World Cup qualifiers and Haiti's tenth participation in the Gold Cup.
The Grenadiers will play the last two matches of Phase 2 of the CONCACAF zone qualifiers in June. On June 7, they will face Aruba, before clashing with Curaçao on June 10. These matches will be crucial for hoping to advance to the next stage towards the World Cup dream.
For now, the pre-list includes 42 players: 5 goalkeepers, 13 defenders, 10 midfielders, and 14 forwards. This list will be reduced before the start of the training camp.
Just a few days after the qualifiers, Haiti will follow up with the Gold Cup. Placed in Group D, the Haitian selection will have its work cut out against formidable opponents:
• June 15: Haiti vs Saudi Arabia (in San Diego)
• June 19: Haiti vs Trinidad and Tobago (in Houston)
• June 22: Haiti vs United States (in Arlington) Sébastien Migné and his staff will therefore have to quickly find the right chemistry to allow the team to shine in this continental competition. With a pool of talents playing both in Haiti and abroad, the coach can count on a promising group, blending experience and youth. Competition is expected to be fierce for each position, especially in attack where no fewer than 14 players are vying for a spot in the final selection. The final list of players selected for these two competitions should be announced in the coming days. THE PRE-LIST GOALKEEPERS
