Haiti's national soccer team, known as Les Grenadiers, is making a historic return to the World Cup after a 52-year hiatus. Their journey has been marked by adversity, playing qualifiers at neutral venues due to gang violence in their homeland.

Haiti last appeared in the World Cup in 1974, leaving an unforgettable impression when Emmanuel Sanon scored against Italy, breaking Dino Zoff's clean-sheet record.
