France by birth. Haiti by choice.

Wilson Isidor was born in Rennes and made his name in the Premier League with Sunderland. He could have kept waiting on a France call-up.

Now he pulls on Haiti's red and blue — for a nation whose home stadium has sat in gang-held streets, unplayable since 2024 — at its first World Cup in 51 years.
