Haiti rolls out nationwide plan to broadcast World Cup matches
Government distributes equipment to ensure nationwide access as team returns to tournament.
The Haitian government has launched an initiative to bring FIFA World Cup matches to communities across the country by distributing audiovisual equipment, including televisions, generators and internet access, to even the most remote areas. The programme, presented in Port-au-Prince, aims to ensure that all regions can follow the national team’s participation as Haiti returns to the tournament for the first time in over 50 years. Authorities said equipment would be delivered across 571 communal sections and 147 municipalities, alongside the installation of large screens in at least 16 public squares.
Prime Minister Alix Didier Fils-Aimé said the initiative seeks to unite the country as the national team, the Grenadiers, takes part in the competition. Haiti enters the tournament after a 4–0 warm-up victory over New Zealand and has been drawn in Group C alongside Brazil, Scotland and Morocco. The 2026 FIFA World Cup will take place from 11 June to 19 July across the United States, Canada and Mexico.
