FIFA has confirmed the Haiti vs Scotland lineups for Match 5 of the FIFA World Cup 2026 Group C schedule. The match is being played at Boston Stadium in Boston on Saturday, June 13, 2026. Haiti have kept Johny Placide as captain in goal, while Scotland start Scott McTominay after the late illness concern. Those calls set up a 4-4-2 against 4-4-2 shape from kickoff.
The official team sheets also confirm Haiti's front-two pairing and Scotland's midfield balance. Frantzdy Pierrot starts alongside Wilson Isidor for Haiti, while Lewis Ferguson joins McTominay and John McGinn in the Scotland midfield behind Che Adams and Lawrence Shankland.
Haiti Confirmed Lineup
Haiti have confirmed a 4-4-2 shape, with Frantzdy Pierrot and Wilson Isidor starting up front. Johny Placide captains the side, while Jean-Ricner Bellegarde and Danley Jean Jacques hold the midfield behind Louicius Deedson and Ruben Providence.
| Position | Player |
|---|---|
| GK | Johny Placide |
| RB | Carlens Arcus |
| CB | Ricardo Ade |
| CB | Hannes Delcroix |
| LB | Martin Experience |
| RM | Louicius Deedson |
| CM | Jean-Ricner Bellegarde |
| CM | Danley Jean Jacques |
| LM | Ruben Providence |
| ST | Wilson Isidor |
| ST | Frantzdy Pierrot |
Formation: 4-4-2.
Substitutes: Alexandre Pierre, Josue Duverger, Keeto Thermoncy, Markhus Lacroix, Garven Metusala, Jean-Kevin Duverne, Wilguens Paugain, Carl Sainte, Dominique Simon, Woodensky Pierre, Derrick Etienne, Duckens Nazon, Lenny Joseph, Yassin Fortune, Josue Casimir.
This confirmed Haiti squad keeps Placide behind an experienced central defence and gives Deedson plus Providence the main wide running jobs. Isidor and Pierrot should then attack the channels and try to pull Scotland's back line into direct duels.
The main official call is Duckens Nazon beginning on the bench instead of starting the opener. Haiti also keep Etienne, Casimir, and Joseph in reserve if they need fresher pace or a different attacking pattern later.
Scotland Confirmed Lineup
Scotland have confirmed a 4-4-2, with Che Adams and Lawrence Shankland starting together in attack. Andy Robertson captains the side, while Ben Doak and John McGinn provide width around Scott McTominay and Lewis Ferguson in midfield.
| Position | Player |
|---|---|
| GK | Angus Gunn |
| RB | Aaron Hickey |
| CB | Jack Hendry |
| CB | Grant Hanley |
| LB | Andy Robertson |
| RM | Ben Doak |
| CM | Scott McTominay |
| CM | Lewis Ferguson |
| LM | John McGinn |
| ST | Che Adams |
| ST | Lawrence Shankland |
Formation: 4-4-2.
Substitutes: Liam Kelly, Craig Gordon, Kieran Tierney, John Souttar, Dominic Hyam, Nathan Patterson, Anthony Ralston, Scott McKenna, Tyler Fletcher, Ryan Christie, Kenny McLean, Lyndon Dykes, Ross Stewart, George Hirst, Findlay Curtis.
The confirmed Scotland squad gives Robertson and Doak the main width while McTominay and Ferguson work through the center. Adams and Shankland should then attack crosses, knockdowns, and second-ball moments around the box.
The biggest official call is Ferguson starting in midfield while Christie and McLean begin on the bench. Scotland also hold back Tierney, Dykes, and Hirst as strong second-half options if the attack needs a different profile.
Team News and Injury Report
The official FIFA lineups settle the main Scotland question before kickoff. McTominay starts after the late illness concern, while Billy Gilmour remains out of the tournament squad and Scotland keep Christie, Tierney, Dykes, and McLean in reserve.
Haiti's sheet is close to the projected shape, yet the attack changes. Pierrot and Isidor start together, Duckens Nazon begins on the bench, and Louicius Deedson plus Ruben Providence get the wide roles around Bellegarde and Jean Jacques.
Latest lineup notes: Placide captains Haiti, Robertson captains Scotland, McTominay starts, and both benches still hold proven second-half options.
| Player | Team | Status | Reason |
|---|---|---|---|
| Billy Gilmour | Scotland | Out | Knee injury |
| Scott McTominay | Scotland | Starts | Included in the official FIFA XI after the illness concern |
| Frantzdy Pierrot | Haiti | Starts | Selected to lead the line with Wilson Isidor |
| Duckens Nazon | Haiti | On bench | Available but not selected in the starting XI |
Haiti vs Scotland — Key Tactical Battle
The clearest battle sits between Haiti's direct front pair and Scotland's central defenders. Haiti want Isidor and Pierrot attacking early balls, while Scotland need Hendry and Hanley to deal with duels before second balls drop around the box.
The other key area is Scotland's right-side pressure against Haiti's left. Ben Doak and Aaron Hickey should test Martin Experience and Ruben Providence, while Haiti need Bellegarde and Jean Jacques to close the lane into McTominay.
| Role | Haiti | Scotland |
|---|---|---|
| Front pair | Wilson Isidor and Frantzdy Pierrot | Che Adams and Lawrence Shankland |
| Midfield core | Jean-Ricner Bellegarde and Danley Jean Jacques | Scott McTominay and Lewis Ferguson |
| Wide pressure | Deedson and Providence carrying transitions | Ben Doak and Robertson creating service |
The confirmed lineups point toward a physical game with plenty of early long passes and second-ball battles. Bench attackers such as Nazon, Christie, Dykes, and Etienne could still change the rhythm later.
