Haiti

The nation mired in upheaval and gang violence has qualified for the World Cup for the first time since 1974.

Because of the ongoing turmoil, the team’s 52-year-old coach has been unable to set foot in the nation, despite being appointed 18 months ago.

Nonetheless, soccer fans in the nation of about 12 million people were tensely watching the 2-0 win over Nicaragua and celebrations began in the capital Port-au-Prince as the referee blew the final whistle.
