After several months of intensive work between Jamaica and Spain, national coach Eddy César has unveiled the definitive list of 21 young Grenadiers who will represent Haiti at the FIFA U-17 World Cup, Qatar 2025.
For the country's third historic participation at this level of competition, Eddy César and his assistant Brunie Pierre-Richard, both former internationals, are banking on a talented, disciplined, and mentally prepared group to face the biggest nations in the category.
In the preparation phase, the young Haitians played several friendly matches, including an encouraging encounter against Girona FC's U-17s (1–1). This test allowed the technical staff to fine-tune the final details before the tournament's kickoff, scheduled from November 3 to 27, 2025.
Placed in Group E, the Haitian selection will successively face Egypt (November 4), Venezuela (November 7), and England (November 10). Three formidable opponents, but Eddy César's protégés intend to create a surprise and honor the national colors.
