The Haiti national football team must play the 2026 World Cup with a different jersey than the one initially designed by the equipment manufacturer Saeta. FIFA required the removal of the symbol of the Battle of Vertières, the victory against the French army in 1803 that led to the island's independence, deeming it contrary to its neutrality rules. This decision has sparked outrage and anger among many Haitian fans. The jersey was meant to celebrate the pride, resilience, and spirit of the Haitian people, according to Saeta. The Haitian team will enter the competition this Saturday, June 13, against Scotland. Haitian fans assure that they will continue to support the Grenadiers, regardless of the jersey worn on the field. The controversy surrounding the jersey has disrupted the national team's preparation, but the excitement around Haiti's historic participation in the World Cup remains intact. The inhabitants of Port-au-Prince denounce FIFA's decision, considering it an affront to the country. FIFA's decision has also sparked debates on social media, with many users expressing their support for the Haiti national football team. Despite the controversy, the Haiti national football team is ready to face Scotland and make their country proud. The Haitian players are determined to give their all to please their fans and make a good performance during the 2026 World Cup.
