The Haitian football team could well have a valuable new asset for the years to come. This is Gorby Jean-Baptiste, a 22-year-old French midfielder of Haitian origin, who could become a pillar of the national team in the race for the 2026 World Cup qualifiers. Currently under contract with the Sporting Braga, a Portuguese elite club, Jean-Baptiste is becoming more and more talked about thanks to his remarkable performances in the Primeira Liga, where he has already played more than 30 matches with his team.

Born in Mayotte, Gorby Jean-Baptiste quickly cut his teeth in France before joining Portugal and establishing himself in one of the most competitive clubs in the league. Endowed with great playing intelligence and keen tactical vision, he is capable of playing both as a recovering midfielder and an attacking midfielder, which makes him particularly versatile. His excellent passing game, his ability to recover the ball and organize the game make him an ideal profile to strengthen the Grenadiers’ midfield sector.

If the Haitian selection has recently shown a certain dynamism and an ability to compete on the international scene, the addition of a player like Gorby Jean-Baptiste could be a real asset. His maturity and experience in European competition could bring additional soul and solidity to the midfield, particularly crucial for a group engaged in a qualifying phase for the 2026 World Cup.

Jean-Baptiste could not only bring a new tactical dimension to the team, but also inspire young Haitian players to aim for international excellence. His career, marked by a rapid rise in Europe, testifies to his potential and his determination to shine on the world stage.

The Haitian Football Federation (FHF) and the current coach already have an eye on him, and it seems the time is right for Gorby to make his debut in the national team. The link with his Haitian roots, combined with his high level of play in Europe, makes him a player that Grenadiers supporters hope to see soon don the national jersey.

In a competitive group like the World Cup qualifiers, every key player can make the difference. With his technical profile and his maturity on the field, Gorby Jean-Baptiste could well become a major player in Haitian football for years to come. All eyes are now on him, and all that remains is to hope that this promising talent chooses to join the cause of the Grenadiers to try to qualify for the next World Cup.
