Featuring Philadelphia Union midfielder Danley Jean Jacques, FC Dallas forward Louicius Deedson, and Toronto FC forward Derrick Etienne Jr., Haiti will make their first World Cup appearance in over half a century, having last participated in the 1974 tournament.

Meanwhile, Etienne Jr. has 22g/25a in 230 regular-season appearances for five MLS teams spanning 11 seasons. He's been a part of Haiti's national team picture for the past decade.
