Key squad story
Haiti are back at the World Cup for the first time since 1974.
Johny Placide, Ricardo Ade, Carlens Arcus, Leverton Pierre, Danley Jean Jacques and Duckens Nazon are the key experienced names.
Lenny Joseph, Frantzdy Pierrot, Wilson Isidor and Derrick Etienne Jr. give the attack several routes to goal.
Full announced squad list
- Goalkeepers: Josue Duverger, Alexandre Pierre, Johny Placide
- Defenders: Ricardo Ade, Carlens Arcus, Hannes Delcroix, Jean-Kevin Duverne, Martin Experience, Duke Lacroix, Wilguens Paugain, Keeto Thermoncy
- Midfielders: Carl Fred Sainte, Jean-Ricner Bellegarde, Leverton Pierre, Danley Jean Jacques, Woodensky Pierre, Dominique Simon
- Forwards: Josue Casimir, Louicius Deedson, Derrick Etienne Jr., Yassin Fortune, Wilson Isidor, Lenny Joseph, Duckens Nazon, Frantzdy Pierrot, Ruben Providence
The biggest thing to watch is role clarity. A World Cup squad is not only a list of famous players: it is a minutes plan. Starters, penalty takers, set-piece takers, late substitutes, reserve goalkeepers and defensive cover all affect how far a team can go.
Group-stage fixtures
- 13 June: Haiti v Scotland - Boston Stadium
- 19 June: Brazil v Haiti - Philadelphia Stadium
- 24 June: Morocco v Haiti - Atlanta Stadium
Haiti need enough points across those three matches to finish in the top two or compete strongly in the third-place race. The 48-team format gives more teams a route into the knockouts, but it also makes goal difference and late substitutions more important.
Fantasy, betting and player-watch angle
For fantasy football, the best picks are not always the most famous names. Minutes, penalty duty, clean-sheet probability, set pieces and group strength should decide the shortlist. For betting research, check licensed markets in your country and compare team progress odds with player markets before backing top scorer or award prices.
What can still change
- Injury replacements can alter the final list before the first match.
- A preliminary or expanded squad has to be cut to the permitted final size.
- Club form and late fitness tests can change the starting XI even when the squad list is known.
- Tournament roles can change after the first match if a team needs more control, pace or height.
