Bastia is proud of its former goalkeeper, Johny Placide, who will participate in the World Cup with the Haitian national team. At 38 years old, Placide will leave Sporting Club de Bastia this summer after five impactful seasons at the club. This World Cup, taking place in 2026, will be a first for Haiti since 1974, and expectations are high on the Caribbean island. The Haitian selection, led by Sébastien Migné, represents a symbol of hope for a country that has faced difficult times, including violence and natural disasters. Placide, as a leader on the field, will have a crucial role to play. He has expressed his determination to give his best during this competition, while acknowledging that it will likely be his last international adventure. Bastia supporters will closely follow his performances, proud to see one of their own shine on the world stage.
