USMNT Faces Haiti in Jamaica for Nations League Quarterfinal

The United States men's national team will face Haiti in the Concacaf Nations League quarterfinals on Nov. 14 at Sabina Park in Kingston, Jamaica, after Haiti was unable to host matches at home because of security issues.

Concacaf announced the schedule on Oct. 9, with the second leg set for Nov. 17 at TQL Stadium in Cincinnati. The winner on aggregate will advance to the Nations League semifinals and qualify for the 2027 Gold Cup.

According to Concacaf, the quarterfinal series will use a home-and-away format, with the higher-ranked team hosting the return match. The United States entered the matchup as the No. 2 seed, while Haiti advanced as the best Group A runner-up.

The United States and Haiti are part of four League A quarterfinal matchups that also include Canada against Guatemala, Panama against Curaçao, and Mexico against Jamaica. The four winners will move to the Nations League Finals scheduled for March 25-28, 2027, at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles.

Haiti's inability to host the first leg at Stade Sylvio Cator in Port-au-Prince stems from ongoing security problems. The team has used neutral Caribbean venues for official matches, including World Cup qualifiers played in Curaçao, according to reports from The New York Times and Yahoo Sports.

USMNT coach Mauricio Pochettino is expected to select a stronger squad for the competitive matches after recent friendlies featured several younger players. Goal projected a roster that could include Christian Pulisic, Folarin Balogun, Ricardo Pepi, and teenage prospect Cavan Sullivan.

The November FIFA Match Window will include 32 Concacaf Nations League matches across League A quarterfinals, League B group play, and League A versus League C play-in rounds, according to Concacaf.
