Sunderland striker Wilson Isidor and Wolverhampton Wanderers midfielder Jean-Ricner Bellegarde are among the 26 players named in Haiti's squad for the 2026 World Cup, where they face Scotland in their opening game.

The Caribbean side have reached the men's World Cup for only the second time in their history after also qualifying for the 1974 tournament in West Germany.

They topped their Concacaf qualifying group largely thanks to the goals of the nation's all-time top scorer Duckens Nazon, who has 44 goals in 76 appearances - and despite having to play their home matches at neutral venues because of the country's security crisis.

Haiti open their Group C campaign against Scotland on 13 June (kick-off 02:00 BST 14 June) then face five-time World champions Brazil and 2022 semi-finalists Morocco.
