As part of FIFA's friendly matches, our senior Grenadières (ranked 47th in the world) are continuing their international preparations for the 2027 FIFA Women's World Cup. They will play two important high-level friendlies in France in October. They will face Japan, ranked 5th in the world, and then Australia, ranked 15th. These two high-level matches will allow the Haitian national team to assess its progress. They will also allow our players to continue their preparation and test themselves against strong international opposition.

As a reminder, our Grenadières have already won two friendly matches previously as part of their preparation:

June 5, 2027 : Haiti vs. New Zealand [2-1] Goal scorers for Haiti: Nérilia Mondésir (45+3') and Lourdjina Étienne (47’) https://www.haitilibre.com/en/news-47688-brazil-2027-preparation-victory-for-the-grenadieres-[2-1]-against-new-zealand-video.html June 8, 2026 : Haiti vs. Equatorial Guinea [3-1] Goal scorers for Haiti : Melchie Dumornay (two goals in the 19' and 55') and Lourdjina Étienne (30’) https://www.haitilibre.com/en/news-47709-preparation-for-brazil-2027-victory-for-grenadieres-[3-1]-against-equatorial-guinea-video.html

The first match will take place on October 9, 2026, at 8:00 PM at the Stade Bauer in Saint-Ouen, where Haiti will face Japan. Tickets are available on the website billetterie.redstar.fr The second match will be played on October 13 at 9:00 PM against Australia at the Stade Walter-Luzi in Chambly. Tickets are available at billetterie.fcchambly.com

These matches are major tests for the women's national team before the continental quarter-final against Mexico, scheduled for November 28 in the United States. A victory in the quarter-final would qualify the Grenadières directly for the 2027 FIFA Women's World Cup in Brazil.
