Etienne joined Haiti’s youth set-up at age 14 and represented the team at the U-20 Women’s World Cup in 2018 – the first time a Caribbean nation has appeared in that tournament. And he always used to tell me the stories about how they were trying to qualify for the World Cup,” Pierre-Jerome said. The World Cup debutantes need a win to have any chance of making it to the Round of 16 – and for results elsewhere to go their way. Ahead of the World Cup, the team trained in Switzerland and South Korea, according to a representative of the Haitian Federation of Football. For Etienne, representing Haiti at the Women’s World Cup is also about cementing a legacy for generations to come.
