The golden era

The apex of Haitian sport: the only Caribbean side ever to win the CONCACAF title, and the World Cup that followed.

In this era
  • Champions at home

    Won the 1973 CONCACAF Championship at Stade Sylvio Cator to claim the region's single 1974 World Cup berth — still the only Caribbean nation to win it.

  • Sanon vs Italy

    At the 1974 World Cup, Emmanuel Sanon scored past Dino Zoff, ending Italy's record 1,142-minute shutout streak.

  • A dark first

    Ernst Jean-Joseph became the first doping case in World Cup history — against the backdrop of Duvalier-era politics.
