FIFA turns down Haiti's World Fan for 2026

A new controversy has erupted before the 2026 World Cup, as FIFA has rejected Haiti's new national fans for tour use.
According to Globo reports, the reason for the refusal relates to the illustration included in the fanella, which presents the Vertière War, one of the most important events in the country's history and crucial to Haiti's independence.
FIFA has seen this presentation as a political character message, which conflicts with its regulations for political neutrality in international competitions.
The decision has prompted numerous reactions, as the Vertiere battle is considered a national and historical symbol for the Haitian people.
