Les Grenadiers are set to participate in their first World Cup since 1974. When they face off against Scotland in Massachusetts on Saturday, they represent more than just a team; they carry the hopes and dreams of a nation currently navigating challenging times.
Haitian supporters and players have much to celebrate. Forward Frantzdy Pierrot recently scored in a friendly match against New Zealand, bringing joy and pride to fans. As Haiti prepares to compete against Scotland on Saturday night, they step into the international spotlight for the first time in over four decades.
In Port-au-Prince, the anticipation is palpable. Roobens Michel and others at the KID displacement camp gathered last week around a single Motorola cellphone to watch Haiti’s World Cup warmup game against New Zealand.
