About this match

Brazil faced Haiti only once in an official competition, at the 2016 Copa America Centenario, winning 7-1 with a hat trick from Philippe Coutinho. But the relationship between the two countries goes beyond the pitch: between 2004 and 2017, Brazil led MINUSTAH, the UN peacekeeping mission in Haiti, where Brazilian soldiers organized pickup games with Haitian children. For Haiti, being at a World Cup against the five-time champions is the realization of a 52-year dream; for Brazil, any stumble would be an earthquake.
