Haiti: What if in 2024, we leave with a reinforced selection with players trained in Europe?

Jean Ricner Bellegarde: aspires to wear the Grenadiers jersey and sets conditions for standardization sine qua non.

As the Haitian national team, the Grenadiers, prepare for a series of matches for the 2026 World Cup qualifiers next June, attention turns to the players playing at the highest level who aspire to wear the national jersey . Among them is Jean Ricner Bellegarde, 25, a talented player playing for Wolves in the Premier League in England, who ardently desires to honor his first selection with the Grenadiers. However, its commitment depends on standardization conditions such as travel planning and logistical management of the team, essential aspects to compete at the highest level.

The Haitian football federation must recognize the importance of setting high standards to ensure the success of the national team. Standardized travel and efficient logistics management are key to ensuring that players can fully concentrate on their performance on the pitch, undisturbed by organizational issues.

With this in mind, Haitian players playing in European championships such as Jean-Kevin Augustin, 26 years old (Basel, first division of the Swiss championship), Lenny Joseph, 23 years old (Grenoble, Ligue 2 France). Ruben Providence, 22 years old (TSV Hartberg, Bundesliga) and Wilson Isidor, 23 years old (Zénith, Premier League Russia) could make a valuable contribution to the Haitian national team. Their presence would strengthen the team and increase its chances of success in qualifying for the 2026 World Cup.

After the match with Guyana, if everything goes as planned, these players could be called upon to strengthen the national team. Their experience and talent, acquired in competitive championships in Europe, would be a major asset for the Grenadiers.

A good success of the gathering, Haiti vs Guyana, could be a trigger for the Haitian football federation. This could show them the importance of investing in standardization standards for the national team, in order to maximize its potential and attract new players of Haitian origin playing at the highest level of international football. Federation leaders must seize this opportunity to implement positive changes that will benefit all of Haitian football.
