Haitian football coaching and governance changes
Overview
The Haitian Football Federation (FHF) is undergoing a period of transition involving both coaching changes and governance uncertainty.
In late August 2026, the FHF appointed Spanish coach David Badía as the new head coach of the national team, the Grenadiers, succeeding Sébastien Migné. Badía, who has experience with the FC Barcelona academy and various international clubs, is tasked with leading the team in the Concacaf Nations League.
By early September, the federation faced additional institutional challenges as the mandate for the FIFA-appointed normalization committee nears its November 30, 2026, expiration. While the committee was established to implement reforms and organize elections for a new executive committee, no specific date for the vote has been announced. Concurrently, Badía has begun efforts to rebuild the national squad through a merit-based selection process involving players from Haiti and the diaspora.
