Haiti has managed to qualify for the second time in its history for the World Cup, after the 1974 edition, despite the fact that the French coach Sebastien Migne has never been able to travel to the country due to internal conflicts, the state being unsafe because of criminal gangs. Home matches were relocated to Curacao, where Haiti defeated Nicaragua 2-0, thus securing their tickets for the 2026 World Cup.

Since the earthquake in 2010, Haiti has been affected by violence and instability, with armed gangs controlling the capital Port-au-Prince and forcing millions of people to leave their homes. Migne stated that it is impossible to reach Haiti due to the dangers, and he has coordinated the team from a distance, relying on information received from federation officials. The national squad is entirely composed of players from abroad, and Migne hopes to attract other players with Haitian ties. In their first participation in 1974, Haiti lost all group matches.
