The Fédération Haïtienne de Football is the governing body of all football activities across the country, be it the national team or Haitian club football teams. From overseeing football development at the grassroots level to national teams, they are the backbone of football in Haiti. The FHF is also behind training, logistics, and other football programs. They are a part of FIFA, CONCACAF, and CFU (Caribbean Football Union).
Over the years, the development among the Haiti football team players in the squad has been prominent. The FHF plays the biggest part in the rapid progress that the football team is enjoying presently.
As of right now, there is no specific president in FHF. This is due to the dismissal of the former president, Yves Jean-Bart, who was connected to a scandal back in 2020. The FHF is run by a committee appointed by FIFA and CONCACAF.
The journey of the Haiti National Football Team started back in 1920. The team caught the attention of the world as it climbed through the ranks via regional competitions. Over the years, the team grew competitive in the Caribbean. Many fans believe that the Haiti National Football Team had a strong squad back in the 50s. While the team made appearances in the CONCACAF competitions during these years, it was the 1974 squad who have made it to the FIFA World Cup that was hosted in Germany. Their iconic goal against the Italy national football team is still one of the biggest milestones of their footballing history.
While the progression was halted during the 90s due to political instability, the Haiti National Football Team showcased unmatched resilience as they bounced back better and with a more fierce squad. As of now, the team boasts talented players who can take the team to a new level.
