Haiti’s return to the 2026 FIFA World Cup, its first appearance since 1974, is accompanied by one of the tournament’s most distinctive visual projects. Sportswear brand Saeta developed the official match and apparel collection, drawing inspiration from the nation’s history, landscape, and cultural heritage.
The official kits feature subtle graphics inspired by the Battle of Vertières, the decisive conflict of the Haitian Revolution in 1803. On the back, a tonal palm tree motif references the country’s natural environment. The collection includes blue, white, and red versions, all sharing a cohesive design language and a polo-style collar that reinforces a timeless aesthetic.
Alongside the match kits, Saeta introduced a broader lifestyle collection featuring windbreakers, training apparel, and casual pieces inspired by Caribbean colors and Haitian folklore. The project focuses on creating a clear and recognizable visual identity for Haiti during a World Cup featuring 48 national teams.
At the same time, Stella Jean unveiled L’Haitiana, a fashion-focused interpretation of Haiti’s World Cup return. The collection includes polo-inspired football jerseys and womenswear pieces that translate the nation’s colors into contemporary fashion. The phrase “Lavi a bèl” (“Life is beautiful”) appears on the back alongside the number 26, referencing both the year 2026 and Haiti’s long-awaited return to football’s biggest stage.
The Haiti 2026 Collection brings together sportswear, cultural storytelling, and contemporary fashion, creating one of the most distinctive visual identities of the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
