They would sometimes return home as late as 1:00 a.m. Those nights of camaraderie, held dearly to Despagne’s heart, are now a distant memory.

Overview: Haiti’s humbling 5-1 loss to Curaçao in the World Cup qualifiers has reignited the polarizing debate over local versus foreign-based players. But framing the issue around player origin alone oversimplifies a much deeper set of systemic failures: weak preparation, a crumbling domestic league, ineffective coaching and persistent exclusion of the diaspora.
