_The French technician, Sébastien Migné took the reins of the Haitian national team with the main objective of qualifying the Grenadiers for the next edition of the Football World Cup in 2026. His debut was marked by a friendly draw and two victories in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers. What can we say about this short journey._

For its first match, the Haitian team drew (1-1) against French Guiana. The two victories were obtained against Saint Lucia and Barbados in the qualifiers for the 2026 World Cup. The Haitian team faced Saint Lucia and Barbados in the qualifiers. The first match of the qualifiers saw the Haitian team face Saint Lucia on Barbadian soil, winning an important victory (2-1). The second victory was obtained against Barbados (3-1).

_Can we say that this is a good start for the national team under the leadership of Sébastien Migné?

These two results against lower level teams in the area raised questions among Haitian supporters. For some, they hope to see Sébastien Migné’s team face tougher selections before judging. For others, they see in Sébastien Migné the architect of a promising future for the national team with new talents. Won against Saint Lucia 2-1, 3-1 against Barbados are not satisfactory results. They are hoping for an improved competitive team compared to the last 3 years.

It should be noted that the 2026 objective will not be achieved without removing less important pawns from the workforce. Looking at the national team, it has so much void to fill, we wonder if Haiti will return to football with positive results.

In conclusion, Sébastien Migné’s debut at the helm of the Haitian national team was marked by a friendly draw and two crucial victories in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers, providing a glimpse with a second place finish behind Curaçao for goal difference. While suggesting that the coach and the Haitian football federation will have the capacity to bring back “new blood” in order to increase the quality and value within this roster.
