Haiti and Costa Rica are set to meet on Sunday, September 27, in the second round of Group A in the CONCACAF Nations League 2026-2027. The match is scheduled to start at 17:00 in Costa Rica and 18:00 in central Mexico, giving the fixture a clear place on a day when both teams can still shape their early path in the group.
The reason the matchup is drawing attention now is simple: it arrives with probable lineups already circulating, and Costa Rica’s goalkeeping choice is still not fixed. Patrick Sequeira or Kevin Chamorro is listed for that spot, a small detail that matters because the rest of the team sheet looks settled enough to show the match is being treated as a serious test, not a routine stop on the calendar.
Haiti’s probable XI includes Johny Placide, Ricardo Adé, Jean-Kévin Duverne, Duke Lacroix, Carlens Arcus, Danley Jean Jacques, Jean-Ricner Bellegarde, Josué Casimir, Ruben Providence, Duckens Nazon and Frantzdy Pierrot. Costa Rica’s projected side features Jeyland Mitchell, Juan Pablo Vargas, Francisco Calvo, Haxzel Quirós, Orlando Galo, Alejandro Bran, Álvaro Zamora, Warren Madrigal, Alonso Martínez and Joel Campbell, with the goalkeeper slot left open between Sequeira and Chamorro.
That uncertainty is the only visible break in an otherwise straightforward preview. The teams are entering a second jornada that could help set the tone in Group A, and in a short group stage, even one early result can quickly alter the pressure on the next round of matches. For Haiti and Costa Rica, the Sunday kickoff is less about ceremony than about collecting points while the group table is still taking shape.
The next confirmed moment is the whistle on September 27. By then, the only question left from the preview will be which of Patrick Sequeira or Kevin Chamorro gets the nod for Costa Rica when the match begins.
