Background
Born in Cap-Haïtien — Haiti's cultural capital, where independence was declared. Immigrated
to the United States at age 11, facing a new country, a new language, an unfamiliar culture. Football became
his pathway. Through discipline, he earned a college degree competing at NCAA Division I
level at Northeastern University and Coastal Carolina University. Then came Europe. Belgium.
France. A record-breaking spell at Maccabi Haifa. Champions League football. AEK Athens. And then — after
52 years — Haiti returns to the FIFA World Cup. Frantzdy Pierrot is the reason.
