Haiti have pushed through turbulent times to reach their first FIFA Women’s World Cup and they have the unenviable task of taking on England with the Lionesses hoping to get their tournament off to a flyer
The Lionesses’ first test will be against the side ranked 53rd in the world and Haiti will give their all in this World Cup in a show of defiance, resilience and celebration for their country and their team.
The Caribbean country has been hit by natural disaster and political volatility over the past two decades as well as a sexual abuse scandal that tarnished the Haitian Football Federation in 2020.
But as they prepare for their World Cup debut, Haiti are hoping to create positive headlines and a new footballing legacy.
Haiti will not shy away from the fact they enter the World Cup as rank outsiders but their fearless mentality could cause a few surprises in Group D.
