Placide retires as Haiti's World Cup ends with Morocco loss

Morocco 4–2, Haiti's World Cup is over

Your team bowed out Wednesday. Morocco 4–2 Haiti in the Group C finale, and that is the tournament done (1) (2). No points from the group stage. Brazil, the opener, now Morocco closes the book. Hard to swallow, but this was always the deep end of the pool.

Placide says goodbye

Johny Placide played his last match for Haiti. The captain, over 80 caps, announced his international retirement after the final whistle (2). He spoke to FIFA in 2025 about what the shirt meant to him: "When I decided to join the national team, my goal was to bring joy to people who suffer daily through football. That is an extraordinary power" (2). A legend walks away.
