From National Pride to Local Impact: GOALS Haiti Partners with Saeta Ahead of the World Cup
As Haiti prepares to take the global stage, excitement is building across the country and throughout the Haitian diaspora. Football has always been more than a game in Haiti. It is identity, resilience, and hope woven together. At GOALS Haiti, we are proud to announce a new opportunity that connects this national moment to grassroots impact in our communities.
GOALS Haiti has partnered with Saeta, the official uniform provider of the Haitian National Team, to turn fan support into real opportunities for children and youth in rural Haiti.
Through this collaboration, a percentage of every Haiti National Team jersey sold will directly support GOALS Haiti’s year-round programs.
Turning Passion Into Possibility
When fans wear the national jersey, they are not only showing pride, they are investing in Haiti’s future.
Funds from jersey sales will help sustain GOALS Haiti’s holistic sport-for-development programs, which combine daily football with education, health programming, leadership development, and environmental action. In communities where safe spaces are scarce and opportunities limited; these programs provide consistency, structure, and hope.
Every jersey purchased helps ensure that children can continue to:
Play in safe, supervised environments
Access tutoring and literacy support
Participate in health and hygiene education
Build leadership and life skills
Receive meals and community support
Grow through environmental and climate-resilience activities
For many families, GOALS is the only consistent safe space available to their children.
Linking the National Team to the Next Generation
Haiti’s presence on the international stage is deeply meaningful for young players across the country and many GOALS participants are on that pathway. Over the past 15+ years, alumni have gone on to become coaches, educators, community leaders, and professional players. A total of 83 GOALS alum has been recruited to the National team since our inception.
What makes this collaboration especially meaningful is that it is rooted in shared values. Both GOALS Haiti and Saeta understand that sport can be a powerful force for development, unity, and long-term change.
Building Momentum Toward the World Cup
As anticipation grows for Haiti’s participation on the world stage, this partnership ensures that the excitement extends far beyond stadiums.
It reaches into rural communities where children gather each afternoon on dusty fields. It supports rebuilding after disasters. It fuels dreams during challenging times. It strengthens the idea that Haiti’s future is not only represented by elite athletes, it is being shaped every day by young people who are learning, leading, and growing.
