Haiti return to the World Cup finals after 52 years and face the mammoth task of escaping a tough Group C.
The Caribbean nation, ranked 81st in the world, have been drawn alongside a resurgent Scotland as well as the competition’s all-time leading winners Brazil and AFCON finalists Morocco after they topped their CONCACAF qualifying group.
Les Grenadiers finished second in their second round qualifying group before topping the third round group, ahead of 2014 quarter finalists Costa Rica, despite playing their matches outside the country due to political instability.
The ongoing conflict between the Haiti administration and anti-government forces and in the capital, Port-au-Princes, which first began in 2020, has meant that the US have suspended visas for the country’s nationals.
But their diaspora residing in the host nation will be able to attend to witness their country’s historic return and focus on the football that gets underway from the 11th of June.
