Haiti has qualified for its first World Cup since 1974—a historic achievement. But with the tournament set to be held in the United States, Canada, and Mexico, complications arise.In June 2025, U.S. President Donald Trump signed a law banning entry to citizens of 12 countries, including Haiti.

🚨 𝗡𝗘𝗪: Haiti have qualified for the World Cup, but Haitian nationals are under a travel ban from the Trump administration. Currently, many fans will not be allowed to travel to the U.S. for the tournament. — @TheAthleticFC

Reason: to reduce the risk of illegal immigration. The consequence: Haitian fans might not be allowed to enter the United States, and could miss their team’s matches. A huge blow for supporters who dreamed of witnessing this historic moment.

After the qualification, the people of Haiti continue to celebrate. That qualification means a lot ❤️🇭🇹 They're going to play the 2026 World Cup! 🎉🇭🇹⚽
