Competing in their first World Cup since 1974 (when they lost all three matches and shipped 14 goals), Haiti are sports betting outsiders to progress from their group.
Success for the Grenadiers isn’t about a deep run, though. Simply being at the tournament and competing against the likes of Brazil, Morocco and Scotland is a huge step in the right direction for a country with one Gold Cup semi-final appearance since 1977.
What is the average salary for Haiti players?
The average salary in Haiti’s World Cup squad is around £15,000 per week. Players in Haitian domestic football are on only a few hundred pounds per month, but only one of Haiti’s 26-man squad (Woodensky Pierre) is currently playing for a Haitian club.
There aren’t any Haitian players at top clubs, but the squad is primarily split across Europe and MLS. Five players are in the top two tiers of French football, for instance, while three are playing in MLS.
Who are the top earning players for Haiti?
Jean-Ricner Bellegarde is Haiti’s highest-earning player. His salary was reportedly £75,000 prior to Wolves’ relegation from the Premier League.
Carlens Arcus and Wilson Isidor are likely the next two highest earners. Arcus’ salary is in the region of £30,000 per week. Isidor is on around £25,000 per week at Sunderland.
How much does the Haiti manager earn?
Sébastien Migné, who has been in charge of Haiti since June 2024, doesn’t have a publicly available figure for his salary.
Most managers in similar jobs around the world are on between £100,000 and £250,000 per year. Migné has previously managed DR Congo, Kenya, and Equatorial Guinea.
