Haiti faces Morocco in Atlanta finale, chasing first World Cup point

Haiti closes its 2026 FIFA World Cup campaign this evening against Morocco at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta (6 p.m. ET, FS1), with the Grenadiers seeking their first-ever point at the tournament. Eliminated after defeats to Scotland (0-1, Boston, June 13) and Brazil (0-3, Philadelphia, June 19), Sébastien Migné's side enters the match with nothing to lose and history to write.

The statistical context is sobering. Haiti has now lost five consecutive World Cup fixtures across 1974 and 2026, and no Concacaf nation has gone scoreless in all three group-stage matches since Canada in 1986. Morocco arrive as the group's form side — six World Cup wins overall, level with Ghana and Nigeria for the most by any African nation — and need at least a draw to keep alive their bid to finish above Brazil on goal difference.

Despite elimination, the Grenadiers have shown resilience. In both prior matches, Haiti conceded only four shots after halftime (none on target), suggesting Migné's compact defensive shape has frustrated opponents in the second period. Wilson Isidor and Ruben Providence lead the attacking threat, with Jean-Ricner Bellegarde directing from midfield. Captain Johny Placide starts in goal.

Across the diaspora — Miami, Atlanta, Boston, Montréal — Haitian communities are rallying behind their side one final time.

"Haiti enters its third and final Group C match in search of a historic first point, after falling in its past five World Cup fixtures." — Concacaf

Manno Sanon, the goal that silenced Italy

Haiti's only World Cup. Sanon beat Dino Zoff and ended 1,142 minutes of Italian invincibility — still the standard the Grenadiers chase.
