Haiti’s World Cup Kit Modified Due to Historical Battle Imagery
Haiti’s national football team has been required to change the design of their kit for the ongoing FIFA World Cup 2026 qualifiers. The alteration was necessitated by the presence of an image depicting the 1803 Battle of Vertieres on the original design.
The Battle of Vertieres, a significant event in Haitian history, was included in the kit’s graphics, alongside the national flag. FIFA regulations typically govern the use of imagery on team kits during official competitions. The specific reason for the modification, beyond the inclusion of the historical battle, was not detailed.
The team will now compete using an updated kit design that complies with FIFA’s requirements for the World Cup 2026 qualifying matches.
