As the FIFA World Cup 2026 approaches, Haitian soccer fans are facing a major hurdle in attending the highly anticipated tournament. Expensive tickets and transportation costs, combined with a US travel ban imposed on Haitian citizens, are expected to severely limit the number of Haitians who can make the trip to the United States. The ban, which was put in place due to concerns over immigration and national security, has already made it difficult for Haitians to travel to the US, and the added financial burden of attending the World Cup is likely to make it even more inaccessible. As a result, Haitian fans will be forced to watch the matches from afar, missing out on the excitement and camaraderie of cheering on their national team in person.
Expensive tickets and transport prices and a US travel ban mean few Haitians will be able to attend the matches.
