For the first time since 1974, the Haitian national soccer team has secured a spot in the World Cup. As they face Scotland in Massachusetts on Saturday, the eyes of a nation burdened by difficult times will be focused on their performance.
Haitian fans and players celebrated recently after forward Frantzdy Pierrot scored during a friendly match against New Zealand. This victory is significant, given that Haiti is competing in its first World Cup in over four decades.
In Port-au-Prince, the capital of Haiti, anticipation built up as the team prepared for the New Zealand game. At the KID displacement camp, Roobens Michel and others gathered around a small Motorola cellphone screen to watch the match. It served as a moment of unity and hope for those enduring challenging circumstances.
