I've watched a few videos on it, what a mad and dangerous part of the world. I was surprised to learn it's next door to Dominican Republic which we thoroughly enjoyed when we went

Bellegarde from Wolves is their best player
Surprised?
The 2 countries share the island of Hispaniola, it's basic common knowledge.
I looked into travelling to Hiati on a trip when we went to the Dominican about 3 years ago. Soon backed out when I realised what a shit storm the country had become unfortunately.

Just didn't realise, I thought Dominican was its own little island. Nearly 20 years since we went and only recently after watching the video and seeing the little map.Surprised?

Looking at their last squad on Wiki, they look like mainly Ligue Un fringe players from unfashionable clubs (Sochaux, Nancy, Bastia, Angers), some MLS players, and Bellegarde from Wolves.
Some strange ones in there too, like a Young Boys U21s defender and a midfielder from the Spanish 4th tier.

He’s another Frenchmen isn’t he? Looks like Haiti are going down the Jack Charlton’s Ireland route of signing up players because the dogs cousins next door neighbours aunty is Haitian.

They play their games in neutral grounds around the Caribbean, I believe.
I looked into the history of both countries when I was there. Basically the Dominican was under Spanish rule for years which allowed it to develop slowly and get a good, solid structure.
Hiati was under French rule but the local populace took control a good couple of hundred years ago paying the French yearly for their freedom. This skinted the country and they had various leaders, assassinations and all kinds of upheaval. Then they had the Doc and Baby Doc Duvalier years of dictatorship and massive corruption. The whole history is a mess and they have ended up as a lawless state.
