With just two matches remaining in the first round of CONCACAF qualifying for the 2027 FIFA Women’s World Cup set to be hosted in Brazil, Haiti’s senior women’s national team, the Grenadières, has officially announced its full roster under newly appointed, world-renowned head coach Pia Sundhage. The two upcoming fixtures, both set to kick off at 2:00 p.m. local time at Guadeloupe’s Stade Roger Zami, will see Haiti face off against Anguilla on April 9, 2026, followed by a decisive clash against the Dominican Republic on April 17, 2026. Currently sitting atop Group D, with the Dominican Republic trailing behind them, the Grenadières enter these final matches in a strong position to secure progression to the next qualifying phase, and Sundhage has opted to mix fresh talent and returning experience to bolster the squad’s chances.
Among the new call-ups to the senior roster are young prospects Raphino Cyrenie and Océane Toussaint, who will get their first chance to compete at this critical qualifying stage alongside several familiar faces who have earned their way back into the national setup. Veterans Kethna Louis and Roselord Borgella mark their return to the Grenadières squad, while Alyssa Manassé Somer retains her spot in the roster after receiving her first call-up during the team’s most recent training camp.
The full 25-player roster spans top club leagues across North America, Europe, and Mexico, highlighting the global spread of Haitian women’s football talent. In goal, the squad features Kaina César V. Pietrus (Lipscomb University, USA), Océane Toussaint (Paris Saint-Germain, France), and Naila Louissaint (Concordia Stingers, Canada). The defensive line includes Kethna Louis (Montpellier Hérault SC, France), Jennyfer Limage (RC Lens, France), Betina Petit Frère (En Avant Guingamp, France), Amandine Pierre-Louis (AS Saint-Étienne, France), Tabita Dougenie Joseph (Olympique de Marseille, France), Claire Constant (DC Power FC, USA), and Alyssa S. Manasse (Blue/Somerset, USA).
In midfield, Sundhage has called up Deborah Bien-Aime (AS Saint-Étienne, France), Sherly Jeudy (RC Lens, France), Melchie D. Dumornay (OL Lyonnes, France), Maudeline Moryl (Olympique de Marseille, France), Anyssa Ibrahim (Le Mans FC, France), Dayana Pierre-Louis (Utah Royals FC, USA), and Josephine Vanuxeem (LOSC Lille, France). The attacking corps is made up of Chelsea A. Domond (En Avant Guingamp, France), Darlina Florsie L. Joseph (Toulouse FC, France), Cyrenie Raphino Brittany (Sporting CP, Portugal), Roseline Eloissaint (FC Nantes, France), Roselord Borgella (Club Tijuana, Mexico), Nerilia Mondesir (Seattle Reign FC, USA), and Lourdjina Etienne (FC Fleury, France).
For the Grenadières, these two matches are far more than routine qualifying fixtures: the team’s overarching goal is to secure a spot in the 2027 Women’s World Cup and mark a return to the global tournament after previous appearances. The current campaign has already seen positive results, including a 2-0 win over Suriname and a dominant 9-0 victory against Belize in earlier qualifying rounds, building momentum for the squad as they enter these final first-round matches under new leadership.
