On Wednesday, June 11, 2025, after playing the final two matches of the 2026 World Cup qualifiers in the Confederation of North, Central American, and Caribbean Associations (CONCACAF) region, our Grenadiers departed Aruba for the United States to participate in the 18th edition of the Gold Cup.

The Haitian delegation was divided into two groups, transiting through Miami and Charlotte, with an expected arrival in San Diego, California, between 9:00 p.m. and 10:00 p.m. (local time), or between midnight and 1:00 a.m., Port-au-Prince time, on the night of Wednesday to Thursday.

Before the start, French coach Sébastien Migné gathered his players to motivate them, emphasizing that despite the heavy defeat against Curaçao [5-1] https://www.haitilibre.com/en/news-45098-haiti-flash-2026-world-cup-qualifiers-our-grenadiers-humiliated-[5-1]-by-curacao.html , the most important thing had been achieved: qualification for the final phase of the 2026 World Cup qualifiers. He emphasized the need to now focus all efforts on the Gold Cup.

The coaching staff still has three days of preparation before Haiti's first match. The coaching staff's stated objective is clear: to advance past the first round and place Haiti among the best nations in this prestigious regional competition.

Elsewhere, in an interview, French coach Sébastien Migné reflected on the heavy 5-1 defeat against Curaçao, after the Grenadiers' 10-game winning streak since his appointment on March 8, 2024.
