Big surprise in North American World Cup qualifiers

Haiti's rise to the top of Group C in the final stage of the CONCACAF 2026 World Cup qualifiers has left many people feeling unbelievable.

Haiti has a chance to advance to the 2026 World Cup finals.

On October 10, Haiti convincingly won 3-0 against host team Nicaragua, thereby creating one of the biggest shocks in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers in the CONCACAF region.

After three matches, Haiti has five points, the same as Honduras, but is ranked higher thanks to a better goal difference. Haiti has not played in the World Cup since 1974, but has a chance to make history.

With the United States, Mexico and Canada already assured of their 2026 World Cup co-host spots, the CONCACAF qualifying format has been tweaked.

The top three teams in each group in the final qualifying round will qualify directly for the World Cup, while the two best runners-up will have the chance to compete for the remaining spot through the intercontinental play-offs.

If Haiti continues to maintain its top position, the chance for them to write a miracle in the CONCACAF 2026 World Cup qualifiers is very likely to happen. For a country with many problems of instability and low living standards, Haiti's performance is surprising.

Even if Haiti wins a ticket to the 2026 World Cup, their fans will have difficulty traveling to the US to cheer on their team, as the country is currently on the entry ban list under President Donald Trump's executive order.
