Why This Match Matters
Group A has six teams: Haiti, Costa Rica, Curaçao, the Dominican Republic, Trinidad and Tobago and Nicaragua. Each side plays four matches, and the top two advance to the November quarterfinals, where Mexico, the United States, Canada and Panama await. The quarterfinal winners qualify directly for the 2027 Concacaf Gold Cup. After the opening round, Haiti is tied for second with the Dominican Republic on three points, behind Curaçao on goals scored, while Costa Rica is fourth on zero points. It is also a rematch of the 2026 World Cup qualifying group in which Haiti went unbeaten against Costa Rica and qualified for the tournament, while Costa Rica missed out, which brought Batista in for the 2030 cycle.
Team News
David Badia is in charge of Haiti for the September window after his appointment on August 23, 2026, succeeding Sébastien Migné. His 24-man squad included 19 players from the World Cup roster. Fafà Picault opened the scoring against Trinidad and Tobago in the 23rd minute, and after the visitors turned the game around, Garven Metusala equalized in the first minute of stoppage time and Wilson Isidor won it in the eighth. Center-back Hannes Delcroix, who started the 3-2 win over Trinidad and Tobago, is an injury doubt and may leave the camp, while Dominique Simon is confirmed unavailable for Sunday, having left the camp temporarily to finalize a loan transfer.
Fernando Batista will be on the touchline in Kingston after surviving a crisis meeting on Friday, September 25. Costa Rica’s executive committee held an extraordinary session following the Curaçao defeat, and sporting director Rónald González recommended continuity after the players backed the coach. But his future beyond Sunday is not assured: a review is set for Monday, September 28. Batista named a 30-player squad with an average age of 24.4, including 13 players aged 23 or younger. Keylor Navas and Joel Campbell were left out, Manfred Ugalde is serving a suspension, and Orlando Sinclair and Carlos Mora, who scored twice, led the attack against Curaçao.
Recent Form (all competitions)
Haiti’s last five: won 3-2 vs Trinidad and Tobago; lost 2-4 vs Morocco; lost 0-3 vs Brazil; lost 0-1 vs Scotland; lost 1-2 vs Peru.

Key Storylines
Batista’s referendum. The federation backed him on Friday, but set a review for Monday, September 28. A second straight defeat would make the 2030-cycle project nearly impossible to defend. Haiti’s late-game belief. The Grenadiers trailed Trinidad and Tobago in the 90th minute and won anyway. Against a Costa Rica side that collapsed in the second half, Haiti’s edge in the closing stages could decide the night again.
Head-to-Head
The teams last met in the third round of Concacaf qualifying for the 2026 World Cup. Haiti won 1-0 in Curaçao on November 13, 2025, and the sides drew 3-3 in San José on September 9, 2025. Haiti is unbeaten in the last two meetings.
Prediction
Haiti 2-1 Costa Rica. The Grenadiers carry momentum from the Trinidad and Tobago comeback, while Costa Rica’s defensive collapse and a week of turmoil point to another difficult night. Expect Costa Rica to score through its young attackers, but Haiti’s late-game edge to tell again.
