FOXBOROUGH, United States (CMC) – Haiti has been forced to change the design of its World Cup kit three days before their opening match against Scotland.
According to FIFA, the illustration on the shirt, which depicts a war scene, fails to comply with its rules, which prohibit the use of any “political, religious, or personal messages or slogans” on kits.
The design pays tribute to the Battle of Vertieres in 1803, which secured Haiti’s independence. It had also been embedded on the shirts worn in both of their pre-tournament friendlies.
