Haiti opens Port St. Lucie training camp tomorrow — 19 days to kickoff
Les Grenadiers are one day away from their two-week training camp at the voco Sandpiper All-Inclusive Resort in Port St. Lucie, Florida (May 24 – June 8), the final major preparation block before Haiti's first World Cup in 52 years. The location — close to the South Florida diaspora hub and within the Miami tournament zone — is deliberate: matches at Hard Rock Stadium are a short drive away.
Coach Sébastien Migné announced his 26-player roster on May 15. The squad skews heavily toward the diaspora: three MLS players earned selection — Philadelphia Union midfielder Danley Jean Jacques, FC Dallas forward Louicius Deedson, and Toronto FC's Derrick Etienne Jr. Former French youth international Jean-Ricner Bellegarde headlines the European contingent. Veteran goalkeeper Johny Placide anchors the back.
Haiti land in Group C alongside Brazil, Morocco, and Scotland. Their opening fixture is June 16. The squad will also play two preparatory friendlies in South Florida in early June before moving north to a New Jersey base.
No injuries or squad changes were reported in the last 24 hours. Camp tomorrow marks the operational start of Haiti's tournament cycle.
