The first 2 black team to made it to the World Cup was Haiti and Zaire from Congo although both teams have lost 3 matches but it is  a well known fact and it was a celebration for both countries. It was an achievement for both Haiti and Zaire to be there. 

One great soccer hero who is known for being Haiti’s hero is Emmanuel Sannon he scored a goal against Italy. The way he dribbled and scored the goal was so smooth and so beautiful that everyone was astonished. Although there have been others black players who had already played in the World Cup for example Pele and another Haitian soccer player who played for the England team who actually scored a winning goal but it was the very first time 2 black teams participated in the World Cup. Sadly it was the last time Haiti would participate in the tournament. As of 2020 Haiti had more World Cup  goals than Canada, Hungary, El Salvador, Togo, Irak, Bolivia, Israel, Angola, democratic republic of Congo, china, Indonesia, Trinidad and Tobago but after the 2022 World Cup maybe Canada has more goals now but I will check on that later but I am sure all of the other  countries are accurate as of now. 

The Haitian president at the time Jean Claude Duvalier treated one of the Haitians players so wrong after the player was tested positive for drugs and he was disqualified for 1 year, the president sent him back to Haiti and treated him so wrong which wasn’t that deep he could’ve just went home and move on. It’s not the first time people were doing drugs, yes that was wrong but in the 1970’s drugs was very popular. 

Although Haiti didn’t win but it is more of an accomplishment than a loss. They are happy to have participated in the World Cup it was not a failure but the most amazing thing that happened for both countries especially Haiti. The last we’ve heard of the Haitian team was in 2019 when they played against Canada in Houston Texas for group stage qualification but they lost, it is still a big step for them.  Let’s hope Haiti gets to participate in the 2026 World Cup, in my opinion I think they need to try harder to be a wining team instead of just being happy to be there.
