The Haiti national football team, known as Les Grenadiers, carries the spirit of the Caribbean nation into international football. Based in Port-au-Prince, the team competes within CONCACAF and plays home matches at the Stade Sylvio Cator. The side is run by the Haitian Football Federation and wears blue and red kits. The team was formed in the early 20th century, with the nickname "The Grenadiers" evoking a sense of strength and soldiers. Haiti's golden era culminated in 1974 when they famously qualified for the FIFA World Cup in West Germany, a historic achievement for the nation and the Caribbean. In recent years, Haiti has re-established itself as a rising force in CONCACAF, with a talented generation of players reaching the 2019 Gold Cup semifinals and displaying exciting, attacking football. The team's culture is deeply connected to the resilience and passion of the Haitian people, with vibrant support providing a powerful home-field advantage. Les Grenadiers are once again a team to be respected in the region.
