Allan Saint-Maximin Rules Out Playing for Haiti at the 2026 World Cup

His statement follows reports about a possible FIFA-approved switch based on his Haitian parentage.

Overview

  • Saint-Maximin posted on social media to congratulate Haiti for qualifying and said there are no plans or projects involving the Haiti national team.
  • He addressed the rumors by noting his ties to Guadeloupe and French Guiana and asked that speculation not overshadow the players who earned qualification.
  • Although he denied any move, he would be eligible in principle through his Haitian father and a change-of-association process that requires FIFA approval.
  • Earlier coverage highlighted his age and framed the paperwork as straightforward, but subsequent reports carried his categorical rejection of the idea.
  • The Club América forward remains focused on his club duties as the national-team speculation subsides.
