Haiti's World Cup Prep: Friendly vs Peru Today!

Haiti is finalizing its preparations for the 2026 World Cup with a friendly match against Peru on June 5th, hosted at Nu Stadium in Florida. This tournament marks Haiti's second appearance in the FIFA World Cup, with their previous participation occurring in 1974.

The Haitian squad, under Sebastien Migne, has demonstrated positive momentum. Recent friendlies saw them narrowly lose to Tunisia 1-0 and draw 1-1 with Iceland. Most notably, they achieved a significant 4-0 win against New Zealand earlier this week.

Haiti has been drawn into Group C for the World Cup, where their opponents will be Scotland, Brazil, and Morocco. The upcoming friendly against Peru serves as another vital opportunity to assess their team dynamics before the tournament commences.

Peru, conversely, enters this match having failed to qualify for the 2026 World Cup. Their CONMEBOL qualifying campaign was disappointing, marked by ten losses in eighteen matches. Since Mano Menezes took charge in January, the team has yet to secure a victory, suffering a 2-0 loss to Senegal and a 2-2 draw with Honduras.

Expected lineups for Haiti include Placide in goal, with Arcus, Ade, Delcroix, and Experience in defense. The midfield comprises Jean Jacques, Simon, Etienne Jr, Bellegarde, and Providence, led by forward Nazon. Peru's expected lineup features Gallese in goal, supported by defenders Sonne, Garces, Barco, and Lopez. Their midfield includes Yotun, Noriega, Carrillo, Soyer, and Cabrera, with Ugarriza as the forward.
