Isidor Has Options Ahead of World Cup
Sunderland striker Wilson Isidor has two options open to him should he decide to play in next year’s World Cup, which is to be played in the USA, Canada, and Mexico. He is eligible to play for France as he was born in the country and has represented them at youth level, but also Haiti as his parents are from the Caribbean country.
The 25-year-old now must decide who he wants to represent and then impress enough to break into their squad. Speaking to L’Équipe, he said: “I would like to set myself the goal of going to the World Cup, it’s definitely still a dream.
“I have two possibilities: France and Haiti. Haiti has already approached me, but I haven’t made a decision yet. I’m already focusing on my club. In the French team, I know the guys, I’ve played with them or against them.”

Isidor Could Become the First
Should the Sunderland striker choose Haiti, he would become the first Sunderland player to represent the country and only the second ever Premier League player after Wolves’ midfielder Jean‐Ricner Bellegarde.
Should he go to the World Cup next year, Isidor may not be alone in travelling from Sunderland to North America with many others in with a chance of their country qualifying.
