The Issue

On June 13, 2026, Haiti returned to the World Cup for the first time since 1974. We played Scotland with heart, pride, and 90+ minutes of fight. But the result was stolen by unacceptable officiating.

What happened:

· Two clear penalty shouts ignored (including a handball and a reckless tackle in the box)
· A dangerous high boot that should have been a straight red card — only a yellow was given
· VAR remained silent despite clear errors

The officials we are holding accountable:

· Referee: Mustapha Ghorbal (Algeria)
· Assistant 1: Mokrane Gourari (Algeria)
· Assistant 2: Abbes Akram Zerhouni (Algeria)
· VAR crew (silent on clear mistakes)

Our demand to FIFA:

1. Formally investigate this officiating crew
2. Suspend them from any further matches in this World Cup
3. Issue a public acknowledgment that Haiti was wronged

Haiti will not stay silent. The world saw what happened. Now FIFA must do what’s right.

What do you want the decision‑maker to do?

Immediately investigate referee Mustapha Ghorbal and his team for multiple game‑changing errors, suspend them from the remainder of the World Cup, and issue a statement acknowledging the unfair calls against Haiti.
