Haiti’s national team jersey design was rejected by FIFA just days before the start of the World Cup. The rejection stemmed from concerns over imagery depicting scenes of war on the uniform. FIFA reportedly objected to the design, prompting a last-minute alteration. Details of the original design and the specific imagery were not immediately released, but it evidently violated FIFA’s guidelines. The Haitian Football Federation has since modified the jersey to comply with the regulations. This change occurred with limited time remaining before the team’s first World Cup match, creating logistical challenges. The incident highlights FIFA’s strict rules regarding political or potentially sensitive imagery on team apparel.
