The Haiti national football team is controlled by the Fédération Haïtienne de Football.
Haiti have qualified for one Soccer World Cup final in 1974.. They surprised the world in their debut game when Emmanuel Sanon scored to give Haiti a lead over Italy. They eventually lost 3-1, and would lose to Poland (7-0) and Argentina (4-1), but their brave display against Italy is forgotten by few.

But we have a very talented group of youngsters coming along – especially at the Under-17 level." Joe Namphy, an official at the Haitian Football Federation and who was head of
