This is called an event. Haiti managed to qualify for a World Cup final phase for the second time in its history, after the 1974 edition played in Germany and won by the organizing country against the Netherlands (2-1).
The feat achieved by “Les Grenadiers” dates back to Tuesday and the victory over Nicaragua (2-0). They also benefited from the draw between Costa Rica and Honduras (0-0). This moment of intense happiness is, however, spoiled by the President of the United States.
Donald Trump and his administration confirmed to the media Politico that Haitian supporters will not be welcome on American soil where the 2026 World Cup will largely be contested. Last June, the Head of State formalized a law prohibiting the entry into the territory of nationals of 19 countries.
A pass to speed up visas
Among the banned, we find Haiti but also Iran (Asia zone), another selection having won its ticket to the Football World Cup. The text says that only the players, their immediate family and the entourage of the selection will be able to stay in the United States.
At the start of the week, Donald Trump indicated the establishment of a FIFA pass
allowing the visa procedure to be accelerated for those who have tickets to the global sporting event.
