Colombian sportswear company Saeta will supply the official jerseys and kits for the Haiti national football team at the 2026 FIFA World Cup [1, 2].
The partnership marks a significant international expansion for the Bogotá-based firm and supports Haiti's return to the global stage. This collaboration highlights a growing trend of niche regional manufacturers securing high-profile sports contracts over global giants.
The alliance between Saeta and the Haitian federation was established 13 years ago [1]. This long-term relationship provided the foundation for the company to produce the high-quality gear required for the tournament hosted by the U.S., Canada, and Mexico [1, 2].
Haiti secured its place in the tournament after a decisive victory in Willemstad, Curaçao, where they defeated Nicaragua 2-0 [3]. This result ensured the nation's return to a FIFA World Cup after an absence of 52 years [3].
Saeta pursued the partnership to increase its brand visibility on an international scale [1, 2]. For the Haitian federation, the agreement provided a reliable supplier capable of delivering professional kits following their historic qualification [1, 2].
The company's leadership, including general manager Sandra Carrero, oversaw the production process to ensure the designs met the federation's needs [1]. The kits will be visible to millions of viewers as the tournament began this month [1].
“Saeta will supply the official jerseys and kits for the Haiti national football team at the 2026 FIFA World Cup.”
The partnership represents a strategic victory for Colombian manufacturing, allowing a regional brand to gain global exposure via a FIFA event. For Haiti, the stability of a 13-year supplier relationship ensures professional preparation for their first World Cup appearance in over half a century, reducing the logistical risks often faced by smaller federations during sudden qualification cycles.
