In pursuit of a historic qualification for the 2026 World Cup, the Haitian national team is preparing to play for its future against Nicaragua on November 18, 2025. As in the match against Costa Rica, at least six players will be at the heart of this decisive mission for the Grenadiers.

Among the players who have established themselves as key figures, Johny Placide remains undoubtedly the most prominent. The captain played one of the most decisive games of his international career against Costa Rica. Omnipresent, the goalkeeper made six decisive saves, once again demonstrating his positioning, his ability to anticipate, and above all his leadership in critical moments. Placide reassured his entire defense, keeping the team in the game during Costa Rica's strong moments. Against Nicaragua, he will once again be the central figure on whom much of Haiti's hopes will rest. This match could even become the most crucial game of his long career in the blue and red jersey.
